+######################################################################
+Accessibility Best Practices Guidance for Content Providers
+######################################################################
+
+The core mission of edX is to expand access to education for everyone. We
+expect courses and course content developed on the edX platform to be
+accessible to everyone, regardless of any physical limitation that they might
+have.
+
+EdX is committed to incorporating accessibility into its platform, website
+(http://www.edx.org), and mobile applications so that course providers can use
+edX tools to develop accessible courses and course content that meets the
+needs of all learners, including those with disabilities.
+
+The topics in this section are intended to help course teams understand how to
+develop courses that can serve the widest possible audience.
+
+.. note:: Course teams should familiarize themselves with these best practice
+   guidelines and distribute them to any members of their teams who are
+   responsible for creating course content.
