Accessibility Acceleration Solution
Achieve ADA compliance faster and meet the needs of the institutions and users you serve.
Why did we create this solution?
- The institutions you serve need accessible products and content. According to recent reporting, 15% of students have disabilities (NCES), and over 20% have mental health challenges (CDC).
- The ADA deadline for accessibility compliance is imminent. The DOJ’s April 2024 rule requires all products and digital content used in public schools to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards by April 2026 (or 2027 for smaller organizations).
- Missing the ADA deadline will be costly. Lawsuits, canceled contracts, brand damage, and talent drain pose threats to non-compliant products and organizations.
- Compliance will elevate student engagement and institutional value. When all the students who need accessible products can fully participate, vendor-institution relationships grow stronger.
- The challenges facing EdTech Organizations are significant and multifaceted. You may lack accessibility expertise or the time and resources to focus on it, yet don’t want to risk the consequences of not doing so.
