This episode is a reading of Chapter 3 from Real. Relevant. Required.: A Practitioner's Guide to ADA Title II Digital Accessibility for State and Local Government by Becky Rehorn. The rule requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA. But what does that actually look like when you are sitting in front of a document, a website, or a public comment portal? Chapter 3 walks through the four principles that organize the standard (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust), explains what the 50 testable success criteria at Levels A and AA require in plain language, and connects each principle to the specific content types that transportation agencies and AEC firms produce every day. This is not a technical manual. It is a practitioner's translation of what the standard means for the work you are already doing. For the next several weeks, Access Brief is sharing chapters from the book, available now on Amazon.

Access Brief is produced by Accessible Organizations Group LLC.
