Accessibility is a general term used to describe the degree to which a product, device, service, or environment is accessible by as many people as possible. Accessibility can be viewed as the "ability to access" and possible benefit of some system or entity.

Q. I am trying to find if there is any setting which enables or disables Accessibility in PowerPoint. Can we make the presentations created from PowerPoint to be accessible. If yes, how?
