When it comes to WCAG and ADA Section 508, I offer a comprehensive suite of services: Consulting, Auditing, Remediation, Accessible Development Training, VPAT ACRs, and Compliance Statements. As an individual with a visual impairment, accessibility is not merely a professional endeavor for me; it is both my mission and my passion. My daily reliance on the screen reader NVDA, both in my professional and personal life, provides me with a unique and unparalleled expertise in accessibility. This dual perspective of living with and working in accessibility underscores my profound commitment to ensuring that digital environments are inclusive and accessible for everyone. **Consulting:** Accessibility standards and guidelines can be complex and challenging to navigate. I specialize in demystifying these standards, explaining them in an easily digestible fashion. My consulting services include personalized walk-throughs using a screen reader to highlight accessibility issues from the perspective of an individual who uses assistive technology. I provide practical solutions and tailored recommendations to address these issues effectively. Additionally, I offer comprehensive training to ensure that teams can implement and maintain accessibility standards independently, fostering an inclusive digital environment. **Auditing:** All my audits are conducted manually, ensuring a thorough and accurate assessment of accessibility. I meticulously comb through the content in question using my screen reader and document all discovered issues in an Excel sheet. I then use a combination of accessibility testing tools, including WAVE, ANDI, and AXE, to further inspect the issues and test for color contrast. For each accessibility issue identified, I cite the relevant WCAG success criteria, point out the specific instance of noncompliance, and provide a recommendation for remediation. All my audits come with a comprehensive review session to answer any questions about the findings. This comprehensive approach ensures that all potential accessibility barriers are identified and addressed effectively. **Remediation:** If you do not have an in-house developer or would prefer me to implement the remediations, I can handle that. With expertise in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, I can directly address and fix the identified accessibility issues. My approach ensures that all solutions are implemented effectively and in compliance with WCAG standards. By taking on the remediation work, I provide a seamless service that not only identifies accessibility barriers but also resolves them, ensuring a more accessible and inclusive digital environment. **Accessible Development Training:** I offer comprehensive training in accessible development, equipping your team with the skills and knowledge to create inclusive digital experiences. My training covers best practices in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to ensure your projects meet WCAG standards. A key component of the training includes the proper use of ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) to enhance the accessibility of dynamic web content. By integrating ARIA roles, states, and properties effectively, your team can ensure that all users, including those relying on assistive technologies, have a seamless and accessible experience. This training is designed to empower developers to implement and maintain accessibility features confidently, fostering a culture of inclusivity in your organization. **VPAT ACR and Accessibility Statements:** After performing an audit, I can author an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) using the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). This detailed report outlines the accessibility features and compliance levels of your product, highlighting areas that cover ADA Section 508 and/or WCAG standards. If you prefer a less formal route, I can also author an accessibility statement. By providing a clear and comprehensive VPAT ACR or accessibility statement, I help ensure transparency and compliance, assisting organizations in demonstrating their commitment to accessibility and identifying areas for improvement.
