How to Outgrow your Accessibility Partner
summary
Practical roadmap to become independent from external accessibility vendors: start by deploying a simple browser extension for wide testing, add command‑line and CI checks into the development pipeline to catch critical/high issues early, and require basic automated scans before releases. Pair that with RFP and contract clauses (30–90 day fix windows), a document accessibility service plus coaching, tiered training (company, role, on‑demand), and an assistive technology catalog that employees can request directly.
