Abstract

There is not a clear distinction between accessibility and usability for all. This work shows the overlap between usability and accessibility proposing a bridge from the usability heuristics to WCAG 2.0 guidelines. The mapping between some usability and accessibility concepts can be a useful resource to know what aspects of accessibility were collected when the usability is taken into account.
