Digital Accessibility Solutions

An easy-to-navigate online experience helps everyone, including those with disabilities.

Over 61 million American adults live with disabilities.

While Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act has set the standard for ensuring the digital content of federal programs is accessible to people with disabilities, many states have passed legislation requiring accessibility. The Department of Justice also issued a final rule regarding state government website accessibility in 2024.

Your site or portal is your main digital channel for informing and interacting with the public.

Accessibility testing

Automated and manual testing against Section 508 federal standards and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA.

  • 8.1 million people with visual disabilities who use screen magnifiers and readers
  • 7.6 million people with hearing disabilities who rely on transcripts and captions

Across all 50 states and D.C., we help agencies accelerate service delivery to address challenges and move people forward.
