Type of ADA Required Entities

State and Local Governments

These entities must comply with the ADA’s accessibility standards. For example, if a city with 50 or more employees makes structural changes to achieve program access, it must develop a transition plan.

Employers

Private employers, employment agencies, labor organizations, and labor-management committees must comply with the ADA’s employment regulations. This includes providing reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals.

Businesses Open to Public

Also known as public accommodations, these include restaurants, hotels, shops, movie theaters, and more. They must provide reasonable modifications to their services and remove barriers in existing buildings.

Federal Government

The federal government must comply with Section 508 of the ADA, which requires that electronic and information technology be accessible to people with disabilities.

Non-Profit Organizations

501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title III, which requires equal access to services and digital content. Nonprofits that receive federal funding may also need to comply with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

Everybody. Not everyone can budget for a full manual audit, and we understand that. We also offer micro-audits, automated tools including AI, and what’s called Human-in-the-Loop tools that can help scan and partially remediate sites, whether or not they will be manually audited. But, for large sites, for any company or organization that wants to be up to the standards that mean excellence (and the ability to bid for government or education contracts), or for people who just want their websites to serve all users, a manual audit is ideal. And, audits can help businesses avoid lawsuits, which are becoming more and more of a concern for organizations of all sizes.
A manual accessibility audit can be done by someone who is an accessibility expert. This same individual may also be a person with disabilities. Alternatively, more than one person may participate in the process.
A manually performed WCAG-based accessibility audit is a test that’s done live by a real person. The resulting report tells you where the accessibility obstacles and pitfalls are in your site or app, including example code snippets, and how to address them.

An accessibility audit report will tell you:

– What and where the problems (or violations) are.
– How to go through and fix (or remediate) each one.

The tests performed are based on the WCAG 2.1 & 2.2, which was formatted originally as an independent effort of the W3C, partly based on the ADA as well as other accessibility laws and guidelines around the world.
Accessibility laws (such as the ADA, or the Unruh Civil Rights Act – CA) do not compel businesses to conduct accessibility audits. However, as interpreted by some courts, these laws do mandate that websites be accessible. An audit is one of the available tools to achieve accessibility, and it is considered by many to be one of the best such tools. If a business is sued, the complainant will request injunctive relief, which frequently includes an accessibility plan. As part of the request for an accessibility plan, an audit may be specified. These cases often settle, and in settlement agreements, an accessibility plan is frequently required, which can in many instances include an audit.

That’s not something the average or even advanced user can do. It does require an accessibility expert, usually an accessibility auditor. However, it is possible to perform automated scans and even some automated or Human-in-the-Loop remediation. That can be done with our tools such as our scanner and widget. With that said, the results cannot be as comprehensive as those of a manually performed audit.

The short answer: usually between 14 and 30 business days. We’ll give you a more specific estimate after checking what you need (your “scope”). The longer answer: it depends on several factors, including the amount and complexity of the pages being audited. Scheduling your audit earlier is always helpful, to be sure your audit will be ready in plenty of time.
