Healthcare Accessibility

ADA and WCAG Compliance for Healthcare Organizations

Healthcare organizations face significant ADA exposure. Patient portals, appointment scheduling systems, and public health websites that exclude users with disabilities create both legal risk and care access failures. We help healthcare teams achieve credible WCAG 2.2 AA compliance.

The Legal and Care Risk

Healthcare ADA lawsuits are increasing. Patient portals that lack screen reader compatibility, keyboard access, or accessible form labels create legal exposure under the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Beyond compliance, inaccessible tools mean patients with disabilities cannot access care independently.

Common Issues We Find in Healthcare Sites

  • Patient portals with inaccessible form labels — screen reader users cannot complete intake or registration
  • Appointment scheduling flows without keyboard access
  • Health information documents (PDFs, tables) without accessible structure
  • Video content (telehealth, educational) without captions or transcripts
  • Color contrast failures in medication instructions and dosage information
  • Missing ARIA live regions for error messages in forms
