Absolutely, the plugins are there for website accessibility enhancement, hence more accommodating and friendly to a person with a disability. The accessibility plugins come with features and tools that enhance various parts of web accessibility, including:

1. Compatibility with screen readers: This means that the plugins in use should be such that screen readers can go through the content of the website comfortably and easily, for users who have visual impairment.

2. Alt Text Optimization – Optimization tool that enables authoring and managing of 'alt' text to images in a manner that allows screen readers to make content accessible for individuals with vision impairments to understand image content.

3. Keyboard Navigation Enhancements: These are website widgets created to supplement site navigation with the keyboard and allow the user to interact with the site through menus, links, and interactive elements using a keyboard in place of a mouse.

4. Color Contrast Enhancement: The color contrast checking tools for your text and other elements on your web pages are designed in a friendly way. They ensure that the combinations of the text and other elements are very comfortable in reading and understanding the content, especially to a visually challenged person.

5. Accessibility Audits: An automatic plug-in that performs an accessibility audit on a website, providing a report of potential problems of a website for accessibility, giving suggestions to improve in compliance to web accessibility standards such as WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).

6. Accessibility widgets: Small applications or popups on top of a web page allowing the user to change text size, contrast, and many other features within the document to their preference.

This way, when you incorporate accessibility plugins on your website, you make the website available to a bigger audience, including those with disabilities, and you will indicate serious intent toward being inclusive and usable.
