NOTE: definition is for the word/term "CLOSED" (self-contained closed is no longer used)
- Closed
- Product where assistive technology cannot be used to achieve some or all of the functionality of the electronic user interface components for any reason including hardware, software, platform, or policy limitation.
NOTE: Products can be closed for one type of disability but not closed for another.
NOTE: Functionality is limited to "electronic UI components" because products are not considered ‘closed’ if mechanical devices like latches or lids cannot be operated by assistive technologies like screen readers. Mechanical devices such as keys that cause electronic input would however trigger “closed” designation if assistive technologies could not achieve the same functionality.
NOTE: A ‘product’ can consist of multiple devices some of which may be AT if the devices are all sold and kept together as a unit.
Discussion or Rationale
Discussion: If the definition below for Adaptive Assistive Technology is not accepted, we may need to describe how this applies to products which are installed in or attached to the IT.
