    Maybe the issue is that you've lumped all disabilities in together. You need to define what abilities you're going to design for, then you'll know what steps to take. You can think of ability is terms of a scatter plot. Most people are somewhere near the center of the graph. Those with disabilities fall out towards the edges. So your choices for one particular ability (vision) might be deleterious for another (cognitive). If you know that your users have poor vision, but do not have cognitive issues, you don't need to factor for that.
