accessibility certification programs

Accessibility certification programs are official recognitions that a building, website, or service meets established standards for being usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. These standards ensure that spaces and digital platforms are safe, easy to navigate, and inclusive. Certification involves evaluations or audits to confirm compliance with guidelines like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Achieving certification demonstrates a commitment to accessibility, helps avoid legal issues, and promotes equal access. It provides assurance to users that the environment or digital content is designed considering diverse needs.
