About
Accessiversity Labs is an innovative accessibility and usability testing and learning lab. We offer organizations a safe, proactive way to “dip their toe in the water” to assess how well they’re doing when it comes to accessibility by conducting assessments of their web site, software products, mobile applications, business processes, etc.
What makes us different is that we utilize actual individuals with disabilities to perform live testing of these web sites and systems to provide for an authentic “accessibility experience” so our clients will understand how someone with a disability will be interacting with their web site or system.
To achieve compliance with Federal Section 508 standards and the latest WCAG 2.1 AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), hybrid accessibility teams consisting of experienced IT professionals and individuals with disabilities (who regularly use screen reader software and other adaptive technology) will perform thorough evaluations. The Team is committed to identifying enhancements needed to resolve outstanding issues that assure your organization’s systems provide an optimal user experience.
Plus, we have several IT solutions providers available to assist on more technical projects who we are able to refer clients to if they need assistance with remediation of accessibility issues or would like help with a complete system redesign.

What is Accessibility?
Web accessibility means providing a way for all visitors to use and interact with your site, including those who require the use of assistive technologies. This means your site works with a screen reader, videos use subtitles, colors have suitable contrast, and it is navigable with assistive devices.
Does Web Accessibility Apply to Me?
An accessible website is important for every business or organization seeking equal access for all customers and constituents. Furthermore, web accessibility carries legal implications:
Web accessibility under the ADA: Lawsuits have been filed against businesses, universities, cities, libraries and many more for failing to provide equal web accessibility.
Web accessibility under Section 508: Federal agencies and those that receive federal funding must make websites and web applications accessible under Section 508 legislation.
How Can I Make My Website Accessible?
Web accessibility does not have to be complicated. The first step towards website accessibility is testing. A full-scale accessibility test will show where obstacles exist, so you can fix them. Regular monthly scans will allow you to detect any issues that arise as you add content or change your site.
