Our WCAG training on ADACompliance.net is exactly what state and local governments (and their instrumentalities) need to understand the WCAG 2.1 AA standard required for compliance with the new rule updating Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II regulation.
On April 2024, the DOJ published a new rule requiring digital accessibility of public entities covered under Title II. Here are the new web accessibility requirements:
- All web content must meet WCAG 2.1 AA.
- Content includes websites, video, audio, and social media.
- Mobile applications must also conform to WCAG 2.1 AA.
- Same for documents.
The great news is the WCAG 2.1 AA technical standard teaches you what you need to know to make these digital assets and content accessible – and our WCAG Course contains video and text explanations, in plain English, that can teach anyone exactly what each success criterion (requirement) under WCAG means.
What’s nice is this digital accessibility education is available on-demand and a one-time purchase so that your organization will have access to the WCAG Course and all future updates for life.
And we’ve got it set up so you can purchase as many licenses as your team needs.
If you like that start, you’ll love what we have next:
We’re working on a training program specifically for Title II covered entities on how to start and carry out a digital accessibility policy and program, step-by-step.
This will be published and public in February 2025 so what we recommend is you sign up for the WCAG Course and start training your team on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and then step right into the natural next step, our ADA Title II Compliance: Get Started course.
We’ve had real demand for this and we can’t wait to roll out the red carpet to state and local governments and all covered entities under ADA Title II.
More to come soon – we’ll update this post when the Get Started course has arrived.
In the meantime, definitely look into our WCAG Course for foundational digital accessibility knowledge.
