Recommendations

 Break Up the Work

We recommend breaking up this work into smaller chunks, like sprints, semesters or quarters, and aiming for full accessibility by January 2026. 

Depending on your unique situation, you can enter the process at the stage that is aligned with your needs, which could mean:

  • Focusing on one R at a time
  • Fixing each of the seven core skills one at a time, such as all of the heading issues first, then color contrast issues, etc.
  • Working on specific tasks outlined in the strategic plan for your division, department, or situation

Keep in mind that the process is iterative; it might be necessary for you to revisit some or all stages.
