Accessibility for education providers

In the fast-paced digital age, education has transcended the boundaries of traditional classrooms. Schools, universities, and continuing education providers now offer a vast array of learning opportunities online, catering to diverse audiences that include students with disabilities. Ensuring that educational websites are accessible to everyone is not just a matter of ethics; it’s also a legal requirement under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. This is where our expertise in website accessibility for schools comes into play

Empowering Schools with Accessibility

Educational institutions play a pivotal role in shaping society by providing knowledge and skills to individuals from all walks of life. However, education must be inclusive, allowing equal access to students, regardless of their abilities. By proactively implementing the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) standards, which are now adopted by Section 504, schools can fulfill their commitment to inclusivity. Our dedicated auditing team comprises Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC), certified by the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP). Our mission is to empower schools, universities, and continuing education providers to protect their business from potential litigation while expanding their reach to more potential students and increasing revenue.

Prioritizing Inclusivity and Compliance

Our top priorities are twofold: first, to assist educational institutions in making all learning opportunities available to everyone, and second, to ensure that schools are fully compliant with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Title III of the ADA. These legal requirements are not just obligations; they represent a commitment to providing equal access to education for students with disabilities. It is incredibly gratifying to know that we play a vital role in helping schools achieve accessibility standards on their websites. This ensures that students with disabilities have the same access to learning materials as their peers, creating a level playing field for all.
