ADA Compliance & Accessibility Training
New ADA requirements are here, and districts are being asked to act quickly.
From websites and PDFs to classroom videos and family communications, schools are expected to ensure digital content is accessible to all users, including those using assistive technologies.
For many districts, the challenge isn’t awareness, it’s time, capacity, and knowing where to start.
Introducing Accessible By Design: Practical ADA Strategies for Schools
Accessible By Design is a practical, hands-on training designed to help your staff understand what’s required and begin making immediate improvements.
Whether you're preparing for the school year or responding to internal urgency, this training gives your team the confidence and tools to take action.
In April 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a final rule requiring state and local entities, including K-12 and postsecondary institutions, to ensure their web and mobile learning resources are accessible to students and constituents with disabilities. The rule mandates that these materials meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards and sets compliance deadlines for 2026 or 2027, depending on the local population size.
CESA 2 is ready to help your district navigate these requirements in your daily operations, from parent newsletters to enrollment forms to curricular videos posted in your learning management systems.
Accessible By Design training covers:
Regulatory Standards: Understand the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards and how they apply to school websites and digital communications
Accessible Documentation: Learn to convert complex PDFs into properly tagged documents that are screen-reader friendly
Inclusive Media: Gain the skills to generate and edit accurate captions and transcripts for instructional videos
Alternative Text (Alt-Text): Master the art of writing descriptive alt-text so screen readers can bring your visual aids to life for students with low vision
