How We're Building a More Accessible Agency

CDA is working every day to make our websites easier to use for everyone, including people with disabilities. To achieve this, we adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA—a widely recognized standard for creating inclusive digital experiences.

Testing and Improvements

  • We regularly test our websites to find and fix accessibility issues.
  • We use automated tools to scan for common problems.
  • We regularly bring in accessibility experts to conduct manual testing.
  • Our websites and apps are continuously updated and improved to include accessibility requirements.
  • Tools like SiteImprove and WebAIM’s Contrast Checker help guide our efforts.

Training Our Team

  • All CDA staff receive accessibility training.
  • Training includes required courses, ongoing updates, and topic-specific sessions.
  • Staff also have access to a dedicated intranet page with accessibility resources and tools.

Buying Accessible Technology

  • We build accessibility into the way we purchase digital tools
  • Vendors who provide digital services to CDA must provide an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), also known as a VPAT
  • We carefully review each report to make sure the product meets accessibility standards
