Testing & Remediation

Our accessibility specialists combine automated testing tools with comprehensive manual testing to identify barriers that technology alone may not detect. We evaluate digital content against Section 508 and applicable accessibility standards, remediate identified issues, and retest to verify accessibility and usability.

Automated Accessibility Testing

We use industry-standard tools to identify potential accessibility issues across websites, applications, documents, and digital content.

Manual Accessibility Testing

Our specialists manually evaluate keyboard access, focus order, content structure, forms, and interactions to identify barriers automated tools may miss.

Assistive Technology Testing

We test digital experiences with assistive technologies, including screen readers, to evaluate accessibility and usability.

Remediation & Verification

We remediate identified issues and retest content to verify that accessibility barriers have been addressed.

What We Can Remediate
