Sustain Accessibility

Sustaining accessibility requires more than addressing individual barriers. It means establishing coordinated systems that make accessibility an ongoing part of agency policies, practices, and decision-making. NCADEMI provides state and local educational agencies (SEAs and LEAs) with frameworks, tools, and resources to plan, implement, evaluate, and sustain systems for accessible educational materials. Explore the ADA Title II Roadmap, Quality Indicators, and implementation resources to guide systems change through continuous cycles of improvement.
