The 2025 demand for developers with accessibility expertise is already sky high and it’s only going to moon in 2026. This means that a lot of developers will have accessibility projects sprung on them and they’ll need to learn on the job.
Illustration: Global Company needs to make their SaaS platform WCAG 2.1 AA conformant quickly to meet the European Accessibility Act (EAA) deadline and they’re getting an accessibility audit report from Accessible.org in one week. Once they get that audit report, the issues need to be fixed ASAP.
Their development team is new to accessibility so they’ll have to learn as they’re fixing issues.
There are two cards in the deck that will help the developers beat the learning curve:
- Accessible.org audits include detail recommendations on how to fix each issue
- You can upload your audit report to Accessibility Tracker and there are 5 AI tools to guide developers on each issue
Note that the tools are specific to each issue so you don’t have to enter a prompt or know what to enter — Tracker’s AI already knows all about the issue from the audit report.
These 5 tools are:
- Simplify and Explain – Converts technical accessibility jargon into plain English explanations that developers can immediately understand, perfect for those new to accessibility concepts.
- Detailed Technical Answer – Provides specific code examples and implementation guidance, showing exactly how to fix the current issue with proper syntax and best practices.
- Alternative Approaches – Suggests different remediation methods when the recommended fix might conflict with existing design or functionality requirements.
- WCAG Standards – Explains the relevant success criterion in depth, helping developers understand not just how to fix the issue, but why it matters for users with disabilities.
- Custom Analysis – Allows developers to ask specific questions about the issue that don’t fit the other categories, providing flexibility for unique situations.
The detailed technical answer will immediately appeal to developers because here you’ll find model code examples along with explanations. And, of course, you can ask AI follow-up questions right inside in the dashboard.
The team can now leverage these AI assistants to develop both immediate fixes and learn more about accessibility in the process.
This approach doesn’t just address compliance needs – it builds sustainable capacity within the development team. As developers work through each issue with AI assistance, they internalize accessibility patterns that benefit future projects.
For our Global Company example, it’s much more likely they meet their tight EAA deadline.
Key Takeaway
We built Accessibility Tracker to make the remediation process much more efficient and the AI component plays a big part of the time and money savings.
Not only do Tracker subscribers get the immediate benefits, developers also get the auxiliary benefit of learning in the process.
