Abstract
Many solutions for one kind of ability loss rely on another kind of ability to compensate, so understanding the co-occurrence of ability loss is critical when designing or specifying products, services or environments that should be accessible to, and usable by, the widest possible range of people. For example, a common solution for vision ability loss is to provide supplementary audio information, yet the success of this strategy will depend on the extent to which people who have vision ability loss do not have hearing ability loss.
