PWDs represent a heterogeneous group of people consisting of people with sensory disabilities (i.e., having visual or hearing impairment or both); physically handicap; persons with cognitive and learning disabilities (mentally retarded); and Persons Affected by Leprosy.

ICT accessibility for PWDs is about making the functionalities and contents of ICT products and services accessible to PWDs either through the universal design (design-for-all) approach or reasonable accommodation.

The present study is, therefore, an attempt to fill the gap concerning ICT accessibility requirements of PWDs in the context of Ethiopia.
