Overview

The client needed a universally accessible application — usable by people with a range of disabilities — and conformant with the regulations that govern accessibility across their industries.

The challenge

Application not fully usable for people with disabilities
Compliance required across Section 508, ADA, and related mandates

Auto-determined which rules to run based on the evaluation context
Ran across modern browsers and the common frameworks, libraries, and tools in use
Validated against WCAG, Section 508, ADA, and related standards (ACAA, AODA, EN 301 549, VPAT)
