Build an Inclusive Digital Experience
Accessibility is a company-wide initiative, because to us, it isn't about laws, regulations and scare tactics — but about doing the right thing for everyone. From a careful design process and in-house accessibility experts, to our partnership with AudioEye and free blogs and resources, our goal is to help your school build a web presence that is accessible to all.
