Would a text-only sight be ideal for someone with a reading disorder? Hardly. Images are not bad for accessibility. They actually increase comprehension and usability for most audiences.
What many people do not know, though, is there is much more to the accessibility for an image than just its alt text. Some people wrongly assume that images are bad for accessibility, since alt text essentially replaces the images with a text-only version of that image.
