This article outlines the design and structure of a technical guide to improve the accessibility of digital interfaces for individuals with sensory or physical disabilities and neurodivergent users. Addressing the increasing need for inclusive digital systems, the guide was developed using a problem-solving methodological approach grounded in digital accessibility principles, universal design, and usability. The guide incorporates international standards, including the WCAG and ISO 9241-171, as well as widely used assessment tools such as WAVE and HERA. The recommendations are organized into three categories: foundational pillars, general cross-cutting practices, and specific actions for different types of disabilities. The resulting tool is intended to aid designers and developers create digital products that are accessible, usable, and functionally diverse.
