Some organizations start their accessibility journey with a VPAT, but then get lost in what they should do next. Digital products and properties impact people with disabilities. VPATs can be used to improve a product's accessibility and make it more usable by all.
While a VPAT is an important step for your business and customers, it is just one step on the journey to being accessible. Being accessible has many benefits - it prevents legal risk with expensive lawsuits and complaints on the rise, it increases your bottom line by opening your business to people with disabilities (24% of U.S. Citizens), and because it’s the right thing to do.
In this webinar, our presenters discuss:
