We consider the importance of accessibility with regard to computer science, advance reasons for its inclusion in the computer science curriculum, and discuss three distinct ways in which accessibility can be naturally integrated into current courses.

Our contention is that accessibility, in the three senses articulated herein, can be integrated early into the current computer science curriculum. We discuss our experiences in this regard and consider the impact the inclusion of accessibility has on the content of typical computer science courses.
