OVERVIEW
QBS Learning provides end-to-end accessibility services to ensure compliance with Section 508, WCAG guidelines and ADA standards. Our approach to accessibility begins with a thorough evaluation of both content and delivery platforms to identify non-conforming elements and build a remediation plan which addresses the full spectrum of visual, hearing, speech and cognitive disability requirements that need to be met to be in full compliance with state and federal guidelines for accessibility
Our team of accessibility experts incorporates best practices, such as ensuring that accessible technology is Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust (POUR), to ensure your offerings are fully compliant
WHO WILL NEED THESE SERVICES:
- PreK-12 Publishers: In order to be considered for purchase using government funding, content and EdTech services must be fully compliant with Section 508 guidelines in order to address the needs of students with developmental or learning disabilities or impairments.
