In Brazil, 'acessibilidade parcial' is frequently discussed in the context of Lei Brasileira de Inclusão (Brazilian Inclusion Law, 2015) compliance. Organizations are often criticized for offering only partial accessibility rather than implementing fully inclusive environments. In the USA, partial accessibility is often cited as insufficient under ADA standards, which require reasonable accommodations and full compliance. The term highlights the gap between minimal compliance and true inclusive design.
