This paper reports on how accessibility is being slowly implemented in the current editorial and production workflows of Australian educational publishers. The findings follow from an online questionnaire commissioned by the Australian Publishers Association completed by 65 educational publishers. The paper shows that many publishers have started working on accessibility implementation, but some of them are still at the scoping stage. While many of the participants believe that the quality of “born-accessible” publication is better for all users, they are concerned about the amount of work and financial cost involved. Overall, publishers understand the need for accessibility implementation, but require further practical support and training. Publishers are also interested in working out the best workflows, timing and processes, and most cost-effective way of implementing accessibility.

本文报告了澳大利亚教育出版商当前的编辑和制作工作流程中如何缓慢实施可访问性。调查结果来自澳大利亚出版商协会委托 65 家教育出版商完成的在线问卷调查。该论文显示，许多出版商已经开始着手实施可访问性，但其中一些仍处于范围界定阶段。虽然许多参与者认为“天生可访问”的出版物的质量对所有用户来说都更好，但他们担心所涉及的工作量和财务成本。总体而言，出版商了解无障碍实施的必要性，但需要进一步的实际支持和培训。出版商也有兴趣制定最佳工作流程、时间和流程，
