WCAG and Section 508 Compliance | Digital Accessibility

Helping governments remove barriers to digital accessibility

A new rule under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires state and local governments to adopt digital accessibility standards, ensuring compliance across mobile apps, digital content, and electronic documents—including materials provided by third parties.

BerryDunn helps agencies achieve accessibility goals and enhance digital content effectiveness, ensuring compliance while improving the experience for all users. Our team also supports governments in developing RFPs and RFQs to uphold accessibility standards in contracted services.
