Broadened Accessibility

I listened to a nice interview with Brian from Dungeons on a Dime, and, while most of the interview was focused on various products, he offered up a lovely, expansive view of accessibility that resonated with my own. Funnily enough, it is similar to the view some folks in the disability community are taking with regard to Accessibility and Intersectionality.

Some Questions
Is the work available in a wide variety of formats? 
_____
If it is a video work, is there close captioning? Audio descriptions?
_____
If it is a written work or PDF, is there a plain text version? Are the photos or illustrations tagged and described? Have the producers checked it themselves for readability with regard to screen readers?
_____
Are there free or community copies available? If not, what are your thoughts or plans to help folks who can't afford the product access the product?
_____
Thoughts about translation to other languages?
_____
Are you, the creator or publisher, accessible to those who purchase or access the work to answer questions, hear feedback, etc?
______
Paper source? Printing? Other materials? Are they easily accessible? Easily sourced? Recyclable? Low impact?
