Digital Accessibility ComplianceFrom Deadline to Program
Two intensive workshops that take you from understanding accessibility requirements to building — and running — an institution-wide EIR program with the processes, measurement, and governance to make it last.
Two Workshops. One Complete Program.
Each workshop stands on its own — but together they give your team everything from foundational knowledge through day-to-day operational execution.
New workshop dates are being scheduled — check back soon, or contact us to be notified.
TheAccessible.Org ACR Scoring Tool — Included at No Charge
Part II includes a live walkthrough of TheAccessible.Org’s own ACR (Accessibility Conformance Report) scoring tool. An ACR is a completed vendor accessibility assessment that can be scored against WCAG 2.1 AA criteria — the scored report is what your institution reviews, not the blank template. Workshop participants receive access to the tool at no charge for use in their own ACR review process.
What You’ll Walk Away With
Practical frameworks, documentation strategies, and the confidence to lead an accessibility program at your institution.
Regulatory Clarity
Understand what WCAG 2.1 AA, ADA Title II, Section 508, and Texas TAC actually require — your scope, your deadlines, and the consequences of inaction for your institution.
Program Architecture
Master the 10 components of a campus-wide EIR program with governance structures that are built into processes — not dependent on any one person.
ACR Scoring Skills
Score vendor Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs) consistently. Understand the grading logic and how to communicate results to procurement officers and leadership.
Procurement Gates
Build accessibility review into RFPs, SOWs, ProCard workflows, and renewal processes — before purchase decisions are made, not after deployment.
Measurement Strategy
Build a real metrics framework tracking website trends, ACR review volume, exception status, and training completion — beyond automated scan scores alone.
Executive Buy-In
Translate accessibility requirements into the language executives respond to: risk exposure, reputational concern, and the cost of non-compliance to your organization.

Common Questions
Do I need to attend Part I before Part II?
No — Part II is open to all registrants. That said, Part I introduces vocabulary and program frameworks that come up throughout Part II. Participants who’ve attended Part I first tend to get more out of the material. If you’re new to EIR accessibility programs, we recommend starting with Part I.
What is an ACR and how is it different from a VPAT?
VPAT® is a registered trademark of the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) — it’s the blank template form. An Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) is the completed version with a vendor’s actual conformance data filled in. An ACR can be scored against WCAG criteria; a blank VPAT cannot. Both workshops use the correct term: ACR.
Are these workshops specific to Texas?
Texas law (TAC 206 and 213) is used as a case study throughout, but the program frameworks apply to any state or local government entity or public institution subject to ADA Title II and the DOJ Final Rule. The WCAG 2.1 AA standard and EIR program architecture are applicable nationwide.
How does the group discount work?
Each additional registrant from your organization — defined as sharing the same email domain as the primary registrant — saves 20% off any registration option. Contact sales@theaccessible.org to set up group registration before purchasing.
What happens during the Q&A portion?
The final 10 minutes of each workshop are reserved for live questions from participants. Common topics include vendor disputes, exception form strategy, how to handle renewals and legacy contracts, small-entity challenges, and what OCR reviews look like in practice.
Accessibility becomes habit,
not hindsight,
when the institution is built for it.
Register for both workshops and walk away with a complete framework — from program foundations through governance, measurement, and leadership reporting.
