Over 20% of the world’s population has some form of disability and has the equal right to access digital spaces. Many people with disabilities cannot currently communicate, work, attend school, make purchases, find healthcare and credible information via the Internet. ADA Site Compliance believes it is both a lawful and moral obligation for all digital content, as places of public accommodation under the ADA, to grant all people access; regardless of their ability status. “Since COVID-19 began, we’ve experienced a sharp rise in the number of people asking us for help with online tasks that most people take for granted,” Scott Rubenstein, ADA Site Compliance Chief Technology Officer, said. “Right now, it’s critical that we all step up and help as many people as possible. While the Accessibility ADApter is only a small step toward true website accessibility, it has the potential to help millions of people in the disabled community.”

Human expert auditing is the only way to ensure that websites, mobile applications, PDFs, and video content are ADA-compliant, fully accessible, and usable to all.
