Real people with disabilities testing real websites
At ADA Ally, we believe the best way to test accessibility is with the people who actually use assistive technology every day. Our team includes blind, low-vision, and mobility-impaired experts who bring authentic lived experience to every audit.
"Accessibility isn't just our job - it's our daily reality"
Our team uses screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other assistive technologies in their daily lives.
