5. Additional Resources - Vendors, support, and external guidance

A substantial body of guidance, tools, and training already exists - so when you identify gaps or opportunities to improve compliance, leverage established resources and frameworks rather than starting from scratch.

  • ADA National Network (800) 949-4232
  • Department of Justice’s ADA Information Line (800) 514-0301
  • View Colorado Governor's Office of IT - Digital Accessibility Law for Colorado State and Local Government
    • Colorado has taken a more prescriptive and proactive approach to digital accessibility than many states, establishing clear requirements and expectations for public entities. Even for organizations outside Colorado, their materials can serve as a useful benchmark and starting point for building or refining an accessibility program.

While many vendors operate in this space, PRISM has direct experience working with the organizations below and can speak to their capabilities.
