Accessibility in data visualization means designing dashboards so all users, including those with disabilities, can understand them.
It includes proper color contrast and avoiding reliance on color alone.

We also added clear data labels and alternative text for visuals.
Readable font sizes and logical layout improve usability.
Accessibility ensures inclusive reporting and better adoption.
It helps all stakeholders interpret insights accurately.
