Government Accessibility

Government Accessibility Requires an Organization-Wide Approach

Public agencies publish essential information across websites, applications, PDFs, office documents, public records, video, audio, social media, forms, meeting materials, and other channels. Gould helps agencies identify the full inventory, remediate what matters, and establish practices that reduce future accessibility debt.

A Practical Government Accessibility Program

Inventory & Gap Analysis

Identify public websites, applications, PDFs, documents, forms, media, social content, and other digital materials that need to be included in the accessibility program.

Assessment & Remediation

Separate site-wide template and component issues from page-specific content problems, then address documents, media, controls, recurring patterns, and high-priority public services.

Priorities & Exceptions

Organize findings by impact and effort, document cases that require an alternative approach, and build a defensible remediation sequence rather than treating every issue as identical.

Standards, Training & Governance

Create accessible templates, publishing standards, procedures, training, and ownership so new content begins accessible instead of adding to the backlog.
