Accessibility Consulting
Accessibility consulting services include audits of physical spaces, transportation systems, and digital platforms to ensure ADA compliance and inclusive design. Physical site audits assess features like ramps, restrooms, and signage, while mobility assessments examine transit accessibility and connectivity. Digital checks evaluate websites and apps for usability by people with disabilities, ensuring compliance with WCAG standards. Each audit provides actionable recommendations to enhance access, safety, and independence for all users.
Accessibility Audits
Physical site audits (offices, retail, events, homes)
Over 70% of accessible restrooms do not meet the standards specified by the ADA.
A physical site audit for accessibility evaluates how well a location complies with ADA standards. It includes assessing parking spaces, ramps, entrances, doorways, restrooms, signage, pathways, and counters. The audit checks measurements, reach ranges, maneuvering space, and usability for individuals with disabilities. Observations are documented, photos may be taken, and recommendations for improvements are provided to enhance access and compliance.
Transportation or mobility assessments
Can your disabled employees get to their work locations easily?
Transportation or mobility assessments for accessibility evaluate how well public and private transit options serve people with disabilities. They include reviewing vehicle accessibility (ramps, lifts, securement systems), stop locations, sidewalk conditions, curb cuts, crosswalks, and path connectivity. The assessment also considers service availability, scheduling, signage, wayfinding, and staff training. Recommendations aim to improve safe, independent travel for all users.
Digital Accessibility Checks
Digital accessibility checks assess how usable websites, apps, and documents are for people with disabilities. They include evaluating keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, color contrast, alt text for images, form labels, and captioning for multimedia.
Checks ensure content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust, following standards like WCAG. The goal is to make digital content accessible to users with visual, hearing, motor, or cognitive impairments.
