Kris Rivenburgh explains how the New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL) is being applied to allegedly inaccessible websites to form a cause of action. The NYSHRL is a state civil law that prohibits  discrimination broadly amongst protected classes and one of those classes is disability.  The language used to protect access is strikingly similar to that of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Kris designed the ADA Compliance Course (ACC) as instructions you can give your team to fix the most commonly claimed issues in ADA website lawsuits. The ACC is really an SOP for your web team. Your team can get started in minutes at https://ADACompliance.net/.
