Why Do You Need a Digital Accessibility Consultant?

Our accessibility consultants have years of experience in the accessibility field, adding value to almost any low vision assistive technology devices and systems. We have first-hand experience working with people who are blind or visually impaired and know what challenges they face in the workplace and throughout their studies. Furthermore, we use a series of functional tests that automated testing systems miss.

Whether you are creating content for students who are visually impaired, creating accessible documentation and web sites, or simply want to know more about ADA compliance and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, dSurf assists you along the way.

What is Digital Accessibility?

With the rise of the Internet and computers over the past two decades it has become crucial for websites, systems, and mobile devices to be accessible to people who are blind or visually impaired. The digital accessibility field is what makes it all possible. We help you learn to use tools such as JAWS screen reading software, ZoomText® screen magnification software, Fusion® (a combination of JAWS and ZoomText), NVDA screen reading software, and Windows® Narrator and Magnifier, to name a few. These tools help break down the barriers that people who are blind or visually impaired face in the workforce and in education.

Digital accessibility increases the number of people with disabilities in the workforce, ultimately leading them to earn competitive salaries and gain self-confidence. The same goes for students who are now able to complete courses and earn degrees. Digital accessibility has increased the possibilities for people with disabilities over the years and continues to evolve. Let our digital accessibility consultants keep you ahead of the learning curve.
