Summary

1 in 6 people in the world live with a disability. Providing accessible
digital products and services is the right thing to do–it’s also required
by law in most countries. The W3C Accessibility Maturity Model enables
organizations to evaluate and improve their accessibility policies,
processes, and outcomes so that their digital products and services can be
used by people with disabilities and help them achieve their accessibility
goals.

Accessibility is a collaborative effort, not just one person or one
department’s job. Organizations of every size need help assessing their
current state, identifying gaps and opportunities, and creating a plan for
short-term and long-term success.

The W3C Accessibility Maturity Model provides actionable guides for
employee-communication, training, tools, as well as organizational,
cultural and technical assessment and measurement documentation.

This model is designed to work for any size of organization, from small to
large corporations or government agencies. Additionally, this is intended
to be independent of the requirements set forth in relevant technical
accessibility standards, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
(WCAG).
