Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) Practice Exam

The principle that focuses on providing necessary information that is easily perceivable is perceptible information. This principle emphasizes the need for information to be presented in ways that can be easily understood by all users, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. This means that visual, auditory, and tactile formats should be utilized where appropriate, ensuring that users can perceive the information effectively.

For example, using clear language, contrasting colors, or alternative text for images are ways to make information more accessible to people with varying sensory capabilities. By prioritizing the clarity and accessibility of information, this principle helps to ensure that all individuals can engage with and understand the content being presented.

In contrast, the other principles do not specifically address the perception of information. Simplicity in use centers on reducing complexity for users, flexibility in use allows for a range of individual preferences and abilities, and low physical effort focuses on minimizing the physical demands placed on users. Each of these principles plays a role in universal design, but none specifically target the clear perception of information as perceptible information does.
