[Maturity - TLDR version, June 4] For review

All,

I updated the TLDR draft and it's ready for review. See y'all on Wed.

Thanks,
Stacey

*[TLDR for review]*

Providing accessible digital products and services is the right thing to
do–it’s also required by law in many countries.

One in six people in the world live with disability everyday. At some point
in our lives each of us will experience a disability, whether it’s due
to something
like not being able to hear in a noisy environment, having a broken limb, or
aging. While none of us experience disability in the same way, all of us
can benefit from accessibility. Take curb cuts–you don’t need a wheelchair
to appreciate and benefit from them.

Whether your company is just starting its cultural transformation on
disability inclusion or looking to improve existing processes, the W3C
Accessibility Maturity Model can help.

The model is designed to work for any size organization. From small
consultancies and large enterprises, to nonprofit/NGOs and government
agencies, it provides actionable guides for establishing or improving
policies, employee-communication, training, and tools. It also includes a
way to measure and document organizational, cultural and technical
capabilities.

The model is intended to be independent of the requirements in relevant
technical accessibility standards, such as WAI-ARIA and the Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

No one will ever be 100% accessible, but with a solid maturity model you
can achieve success with accessibility and meet your consumers and
employees where they’re at.
