Frequently Asked Questions
Plain answers about the ADA Title II rule and our audit.
Four principles. A resident must be able to perceive your content, operate it, and understand it. It must also work with their tools, like screen readers, zoom, and voice control.
The rule covers state and local governments: agencies, cities, towns, public schools and colleges, housing authorities, and special districts. Organizations that receive HHS funding fall under Section 504. Vendors and nonprofits that run state programs are covered by Massachusetts policy. Not sure? We will help you check.
The rule sets no fines on its own. Risk comes from DOJ investigations, resident complaints, and lawsuits. Fixing after a complaint costs more and happens on someone else's timeline.
No. Massachusetts state policy bans accessibility overlays. The fix has to be in the page itself.
Yes. The rule covers content you provide through vendors too. Your vendor contracts should require WCAG 2.1 AA.
Yes. The audit gives you the fix list. We also build the fix itself, not just the report, as a separate project.
