Digital Accessibility Gap Analysis
About the Project
This engagement with WebAim will:
- Help assess our organization’s current state of web accessibility and identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities to improve.
- Create a high-level roadmap including governance, policy, tasks, tools, training, and budget to advance accessibility strategically and sustainably.
This collaboration will support the Digital Accessibility team by identifying strategies to raise awareness and reinforce each department's responsibility for adhering to digital accessibility practices in alignment with current University policies and the American with Disabilities Act (ADA).
