Is your business or organization looking to make online content more accessible?

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) requires Ontario businesses to provide accessible websites, documents, and communications. Our team uses screen-reader software to assess accessibility and identify barriers that may prevent users from accessing your content.

After the evaluation, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining areas for improvement, helping you create a more accessible experience for everyone.

Program costs

$350 for an initial 5-hour assessment and written report
Additional time: $40 per hour

What people are saying

“We always try to stay up-to-date on web accessibility, but the document and website accessibility checker alerted us to issues on our website that we would have struggled to catch on our own. As a direct result of this program, we were able to make our latest call for artists more accessible. Improved accessibility isn’t just about ticking a box; it allows us to connect with more artists and reach larger audiences. We are so grateful to the Council for Persons with Disabilities for providing this service!”

— Eva Fisher, Public Energy

“Meeting online WCAG requirements often involves audits and technical details that need to be met. While this is, of course, essential, accessibility is ultimately about people. Once the features are implemented, how is the actual end-user experience? This is where CPD comes in! The usability testing they provided (through their ACE program) gave us valuable insight into our online player when used with a variety of visual-aid software. Combined with their helpful suggestions, it allowed us to optimize our product even further in ways that would have been difficult to anticipate without their input. Our experience working with CPD has been excellent, and we plan on utilizing their expertise moving forward as we add new features.”

— Jon Lee, Collaborate Video Corp.

“rPM3 Solutions had CPD test our web-based software for accessibility. Working with CPD was a pleasure. Their service provided valuable information on our software’s current state and helpful recommendations for improvements. I highly recommend anyone with a website or web-based software connect with CPD for this service.”
