What to do now

  • Include the Commonwealth’s Accessibility Contract Language for IT Solutions (currently under review and being updated — please use the language provided for now) for new contracts and for contract renewals (this is mandatory)
  • Identify all third-party provided applications for web and mobile and identify if they have undergone any accessibility testing
  • Ensure that all applications that are launched new or continuously updated by the vendor are tested for accessibility and that all findings are remediated by the vendor
