### Why is this important? -Some people with physical impairments cannot touch or click small buttons that are close together, especially on mobile touch screens. +Some people with physical impairments cannot click or touch small buttons that are close together, especially on mobile touch screens. The aim is to provide adequate clearance from any adjacent elements to prevent accidental activation of adjacent elements. And to provide a larger region of the display that will accept a touch or pointer action when elements overlap and in other situations where the target size may be smaller than that of the element. -Exceptions such as “**_inline link text_**” are listed in [2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum AA)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/target-size-minimum). +Even though exceptions such as “**_inline link text_**” are listed in [2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum AA)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/target-size-minimum), it is recommended to increase the size and spacing where possible. **Note**: When a _minimum size_ can’t be met, then a _minimum spacing_ is required. Therefore it is still possible to have small elements and meet the requirement, provided that the elements don't have any adjacent elements that are too close.
