You know something is not accessible. You are not sure where to start, what to fix first, or who owns it. That is exactly what this work is designed to answer.
Accessibility Audits and Remediation That Give You a Clear Path Forward
Your team deserves digital content that everyone can access
Many organizations struggle with:
Websites and documents that have grown over time, with an inconsistent structure
Accessibility issues in PDFs, slide decks, and online resources (headings, reading order, captions, contrast)
Vendor platforms that “claim to be accessible,” but still create barriers
Unclear ownership across departments (communications, curriculum, IT, special education)
A growing to-do list, without a clear plan for what to fix first
You should not have to guess where to start or explain technical findings to your team in three different ways. I identify the highest-impact barriers, translate everything into plain language, and give you a realistic plan your team can actually follow.
Why accessibility expectations are rising
If your district is navigating ADA Title II requirements or simply trying to get ahead of a growing backlog, you are not alone.
The landscape has shifted:
Public schools and state and local government entities now face increased expectations for accessible websites and mobile apps under updated ADA Title II rules.
Many districts are also choosing to align with WCAG 2.2 as a best-practice target for usability and inclusion, even beyond what the rule requires.
The goal is not perfection overnight. It is a clear path forward: reduce barriers, improve access, and build systems that prevent the same issues from coming back.

If you publish digital content, this is for you
School districts
Websites, PDFs, board materials, family resources, and internal training
Public sector and nonprofits
Websites, public documents, and service information for broad and diverse communities
Small businesses

Internal teams (HR, Operations, Programs)
Shared workflows for creating and maintaining accessible content
How I run accessibility audits that lead to action
Your audit is designed to be understandable, doable, and easy to maintain.
Right-sized scope — one page, a key workflow, or a defined content set
Real-world testing — keyboard checks, screen reader spot checks, and usability-focused review
Document support — PDFs, slide decks, Word docs, and templates
Clear reporting — plain-language findings with screenshots and "what to fix" guidance
Prioritized roadmap — what to fix first, what can wait, and who typically owns each item
Remediation support — hands-on help fixing issues, or guidance so your team can fix internally
Accessibility Audit and Remediation Options
Rapid Snapshot Audit
- A focused review of a defined set of pages or documents

Remediation Partner Support
- Hands-on fixes for the issues found in your audit
- Support tailored to your tools (CMS, PDFs, slide decks, LMS content)
- Best for: “We need help getting the fixes done, not just documented.”
Full Audit and Roadmap
- A broader review across priority pages, content types, and key user tasks

Your Accessibility Questions, Answered
-
Common content includes websites and web pages, PDFs, Word documents, slide decks, forms, digital handbooks, LMS content, and online resources used by families and staff. If you're not sure whether your content type is in scope, that's a good question for our first conversation.
-
I start with your highest-impact content: high-traffic pages, required information, key workflows like enrollment and contact forms, and any areas connected to legal or operational risk. If you have a compliance deadline, that shapes the priority order from the start.
-
Findings are written in plain language, grouped by priority, and include screenshots and specific guidance, not just a list of error codes. Where helpful, I include suggested text, template updates, or step-by-step fixes your team can follow without a developer.
-
I typically bill $100 per hour. For audits and remediation with a clearly defined scope — content types, number of pages or files, tools, and review cycles — I can also provide a project-based price. Scope definition is part of the first conversation, so you'll know what to expect before any work begins.
-
Book a free intro meeting or reach out through the contact form. We'll clarify your priorities, define scope, and identify which audit option fits your timeline and staffing. You'll leave the first conversation with a clear sense of next steps regardless of what you decide.
-
Yes, with one important distinction. I can audit the content your team creates and publishes within most LMS platforms: courses, documents, slides, and resources. For the platform itself, the software interface, navigation, and built-in features, I can identify and document barriers, but remediation typically requires working with the vendor. I can help you understand what to ask for and how to evaluate vendor accessibility claims, including reviewing their VPAT if one exists.
-
A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) is a document in which a software vendor self-reports how their product conforms to accessibility standards. If your organization uses third-party platforms for learning management, student information, or communication, you should be requesting a current VPAT as part of procurement. A VPAT alone doesn't guarantee accessibility. But it tells you whether a vendor has done the work to evaluate their product and where the known gaps are. I can help you read and evaluate VPATs as part of an audit or as a standalone service.

Pricing
I keep pricing straightforward and scope-aware.
Hourly
$100/hour
Best for: a single document or page review, a re-check after fixes, or quick guidance on specific accessibility issues.
Project-Based
Scoped to the work
For a full site, course, or set of documents, I can offer a project price when we agree on scope up front (what gets reviewed, the standard we check against, and a written report with prioritized findings). If the scope changes, I flag it early, and we can adjust the fixed price or move added work to hourly.
