RE: Accessibility evaluation methodology

	No, it isn't documented publicly. It's probably fairly typical of the methodology used by agencies to carry out accessibility evaluations, but it isn't formalised in a central place as far as I know.

Hi Leonie,

Is this methodology documented publicly?

The idea is not to document organizations that carry out evaluations but rather existing, publicly documented methodologies to learn from.

I will clarify the wiki page accordingly.

Thanks,

We also carry out an holistic evaluation of the site from the perspective of people with different disabilities/assistive technology requirements.
