Getting Started in Accessibility
Event Information
About this event
Know you need to “get accessible” but don’t quite know what that means? Understand that your organization is falling short, but don’t know what to do next? Join us for this free, online workshop and in 30 short minutes you’ll leave with:
• A quick understanding of what digital accessibility is to users across four disability types: cognitive, hearing, mobility and sight.
• A working knowledge of the current US laws and international guidelines, governing and shaping websites, software and more.
• Solid next steps to help your project/organization move in the right direction.
Because we’re mission-based, WeCo’s free public training offers you real, actionable information—not just an advertisement for our services.
TAKE AWAY: Everyone who attends will receive a Free Accessibility Assessment on the website or software platform of their choosing. You’ll also receive access to free resources to help you get started from WeCo, and other great accessibility organizations.

Organizer of Getting Started in Accessibility
WeCo provides a unique blend of digital accessibility audits and usability testing for websites, software and mobile applications, through a team of professionals who live with disabilities. Mission-based and result-driven, our goal is to make website/software/mobile ap accessiblity possible for any business, regardless of size or budget.
We are also committeed to disability employment. All of our Testers and Accessibility Specialists live with disabilities. At any point in time, our internal support staff includes at least 90% professionals living with disabilities. In a country where unemployment and underemployment of professionals living with disabilities is 80%, WeCo is making a real difference.
