  • A free 20-page guide, the “NACo Tech Brief: Digital Accessibility & ADA Compliance Guide,” emailed to you

  • A dated record of good-faith compliance effort

Waiting is the most expensive option on the table.

The DOJ's 2024 final rule made WCAG 2.1 Level AA enforceable for state and local government. Failure to meet Title II requirements can result in:

DOJ investigations

Federal enforcement actions and civil rights complaints filed against your agency.

Settlements & litigation

Legal costs that dwarf the price of proactive remediation.

Lost public trust

Reputational harm when residents cannot access the services they fund.

Rising remediation costs

Every month of delay adds documents, pages, and media to the backlog.

Visible, documented progress matters. Taking early action may be looked upon favorably if your digital content is challenged or reviewed.

Everything the rule covers

Title II reaches far past your homepage. Our audit checks the same surfaces a federal reviewer would.

Public-facing websites

PDFs, forms & downloadable documents

Online services and resident portals

Mobile apps

Videos and multimedia content

Social posts and graphics

Third-party platforms you rely on

Internal staff systems tied to employment

How the audit works

1. We scan

Automated and manual WCAG 2.1 AA testing across your highest-traffic pages and documents.

2. We prioritize

Findings ranked by legal exposure and resident impact — not a raw error dump.​

3. You act

A phased remediation roadmap your team, or ours, can execute before the deadline.

For elected officials

What county leaders are personally accountable for

NACo is direct about this: compliance is a governance responsibility, not an IT project. Elected officials are responsible for:

  • Setting expectations for compliance across every department

  • Supporting countywide accessibility standards

  • Ensuring sufficient resources and staffing

  • Holding departments and vendors accountable

  • Championing an inclusive digital strategy that reflects county values

Early, visible progress reduces compliance risk and can demonstrate good-faith efforts if your county faces an ADA challenge. Our audit is the fastest way to create that record — dated, documented, and prioritized.

High-impact steps you can complete in eight weeks

Straight from the NACo brief: rapid actions that reduce risk and show documented progress while full remediation continues.

Clean up outdated content

Remove or archive pages, PDFs and media that no longer serve active programs — shrinking the volume you must remediate.

Train the staff who publish

Baseline training so every new document, webpage and video is born accessible instead of remediated later.

Publish an accessibility statement

An affirmative statement or proclamation with a clear feedback contact signals commitment and opens a grievance pathway.

Document your effort

Visible, dated steps — rather than delay — may be looked upon favorably if your content is challenged or reviewed.

End-to-end accessibility services

From assessment through remediation and ongoing compliance

Most accessibility providers stop at the audit — handing over a report and leaving implementation to you. SEDNA supports the complete lifecycle: identifying barriers, fixing them, validating the fix, and maintaining compliance over time, all with one team.

1. Assess

Know exactly where you stand — not where a scanner assumes you stand.

Accessibility audits & assessments

Manual and automated audits aligned with WCAG 2.0/2.1 AA, ADA Title II and III, Section 508, and procurement requirements.

ADA Title II & III readiness

Evaluation of websites, apps, documents, forms, and portals to identify gaps and remediation priorities.

Section 508 audits & reporting

Assessments and documentation for federally funded systems and government technology environments.

Assistive-technology testing

Real-world testing with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, speech input, and magnification.

VPAT & ACR services

Creation, review, and validation of VPAT-based Accessibility Conformance Reports.

2. Remediate

Barriers get fixed and verified — not handed back to you in a report.

Website & application remediation

HTML, ARIA, navigation, forms, headings, labels, focus behavior, contrast, and interactive components.

PDF & document remediation

Public notices, reports, meeting agendas, and forms made usable with assistive technology.

Form & workflow remediation

Complete public-service journeys: registrations, payments, applications, and permits.

Mobile & design-system remediation

Native, hybrid, and responsive apps, plus reusable components so issues stop recurring.

Legacy, custom & third-party systems

Improvements without full platform replacement, including coordination with vendor system owners.

Retesting & validation

Verification that each correction works with keyboards, screen readers, and other assistive tech.

3. Sustain

Compliance holds after the deadline passes.

Accessibility training

Role-based training for developers, designers, content authors, procurement teams, and program owners.

Accessibility-by-design integration

Standards embedded into design systems, development workflows, publishing, and QA processes.

Ongoing monitoring & governance

Recurring checks and documented progress that stand up to audit, complaint, or review.

START WITH THE ASSESSMENT

Automated tools catch only 30–40% of WCAG success criteria — the rest takes human testing.
