US Diversity & Inclusion Sector

Website Accessibility for US Diversity & Inclusion Organizations

Organizations in the Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) sector must provide accessible online content to ensure that people can engage with information, services, and experiences. In the US and Canada, this is driven through important accessibility legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Accessible Canada Act (ACA)

Regulatory Framework

Key Accessibility Legislation for the D&I Industry

Organizations from the D&I sector must ensure digital content is accessible. In the US and Canada, this is often backed by legislation such as the ADA and the ACA, which mandate compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

WCAG 2.2 Level AA Compliance

D&I organizations must meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. This is the gold standard for accessibility compliance both domestically and internationally.

Monitor and Update Existing Content

Digital content should be periodically audited to identify and resolve accessibility issues.

Publish a Transparent Accessibility Statement

Every D&I website should have an up-to-date accessibility statement that outlines current accessibility levels and future improvements.

Embed Accessibility into Everyday Processes

Accessibility is not a one-off project. It should be built into content creation, design, development, testing, and governance so that improvements continue as services evolve.

Prepare for Legal and Regulatory Obligations

D&I organizations should ensure their digital services are ready to comply with relevant accessibility legislation. Complaints or enquiries should be responded to quickly and effectively.

Ensure Equivalent Access When Barriers Remain

If some features or content are not yet accessible, organizations should provide reasonable alternatives so that people can still obtain information and complete the same activities independently.

How We Help

How Recite Me can Support D&I Companies with Accessibility Challenges

For organizations working to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion, creating an inclusive digital experience is an important part of ensuring everyone can access information online. The points below highlight common focus areas and how Recite Me supports more inclusive online experiences:

Without the right support, some people may find it harder to read, understand, or interact with online information. Thankfully, the Recite Me Assistive Toolbar offers text-to-speech, translation, customizable display options, and more, giving people the flexibility to access content in the way that works best for them.

People from different backgrounds may experience websites in different ways and can provide valuable insight into where barriers exist. Having a clear process to review and respond to this feedback helps organizations make meaningful improvements. Recite Me supports organizations in assessing issues and identifying practical actions to create a more inclusive digital experience.

DE&I initiatives often involve policies, reports, training materials, and downloadable resources. These documents can be more difficult to use if they are not designed with accessibility in mind. However, Recite Me tools help identify barriers in documents and support updates that make content easier to navigate and understand.

Inclusive organizations recognize that digital barriers can affect participation and engagement. Identifying and addressing these barriers is an important part of embedding inclusion into everyday practice. The Recite Me Website Accessibility Checker helps highlight areas for improvement, supporting ongoing progress towards recognized standards such as WCAG 2.2 Level AA.

Sharing what has been reviewed, improved, and is still in progress helps build trust and demonstrates a commitment to inclusion. Organizations can support this by maintaining an up-to-date accessibility statement. Recite Me provides guidance and tools to help track and communicate accessibility progress over time.

D&I Accessibility FAQs

Organizations focused on diversity and inclusion aim to create fair and equitable environments. Digital accessibility supports this by helping ensure that online spaces do not unintentionally exclude people due to how content is designed, structured, or delivered.

D&I organisations in the US must consider the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

While not all organizations are legally required to meet WCAG in the same way, aligning with WCAG 2.2 Level AA is widely considered best practice and helps support compliance with accessibility expectations.

All digital content should be considered, including webpages, videos, PDFs, reports, and interactive features. Ensuring accessibility across all formats supports a more consistent experience.

No. While accessibility is essential for many disabled people, it also benefits everyday website visitors by making content easier to understand and engage with.

Not always. Many improvements can be made through incremental changes such as adjusting content structure, improving labelling, or reviewing design choices. Over time, accessibility can be embedded into existing design and development practices.
