Accessibility Excellence Launch (correction)

September 30, 2022

It's time! The Accessibility Excellence Project has officially launched!

The project is designed to be a self-study tool and can be used as a complete process or in modular pieces:

Phase 1: Assess: Get started by understanding where your organization stands. This phase allows you to learn more about good practices around accessibility. It includes newly redesigned Maturity Models & Workbook as well as guides for inviting outside perspectives with an Accessibility Audit and User-Expert Site Visits.
Phase 2 & 3: Prepare & Implement: Take action after reflection. This phase includes the Action Plan Template (.xls) to help break large goals into more manageable pieces and track completed work. Our Resource Guides help you research new concepts and see real-life examples of success.
Organizational Reflection Guides to support change throughout the process.

A diagram of circles labeled “Assess,” “Prepare,” and “Implement” to show the relationship between phases of the Accessibility Excellence Project as described above. A line labeled “Organizational Reflection” arches over and connects to the circles.

This graphic illustrates the relationship between the phases of the Accessibility Excellence Toolkit and their components as described above.

We will continue to send updates about the project via email and if you have any questions while working through the process, please feel free to contact the project team.

Wishing you best of luck on your accessibility journey!
