The Department on Disability provides in-house document remediation services. We will take your existing files such as JPGs, PNGs, Word, PDF, PowerPoint, or Excel and re-format, repair, and/or re-tag them as needed to make them compliant with accessibility standards. In most this does not result in any visible changes to the document.
Requests for document remediation must be submitted using the Document Remediation Request Form.
If the Department on Disability team is unable to remediate your document in house due to the document complexity, length, or turnaround time, we will refer you to document remediation vendors.
