What Changed and Why It Matters Now

Digital accessibility is no longer optional. Recent standards updates have raised the bar for websites, mobile apps, and documents across enterprise, government, education, and healthcare — bringing new compliance deadlines, higher legal exposure, and greater scrutiny of digital experiences. Many organizations built before these standards took effect now have significant, unfunded compliance gaps that put them at risk of litigation, OCR investigations, and lost funding.

Our Accessibility & Compliance Services:

Collective Intelligence brings 25+ years and 650+ successful projects of experience to help organizations close these gaps — through comprehensive WCAG and Section 508 audits, remediation and modernization, governance and training, and ongoing monitoring — so you can meet today’s requirements confidently and sustainably.

WCAG 2.1 Release

Introduced new criteria for mobile, low vision, and cognitive accessibility.
  • Touch targets, orientation, zoom, and reflow rules affect all responsive sites.
  • Many modern frameworks (React, Angular, Vue) require updates to meet 2.1 AA.
  • Organizations still using WCAG 2.0 have significant compliance gaps.

WCAG 2.2 Release

Adds requirements for focus visibility, drag alternatives, target size, and cognitive support.
  • Focus indicators must be more visible and consistent.
  • Drag and drop interfaces must offer non drag alternatives.
  • Icon only buttons and small controls often fail new target size rules.

Section 508 “ICT Refresh”

The U.S. Access Board updated Section 508 to require WCAG 2.0 AA for all federal digital content and technology.
  • Vendors serving federal agencies must meet WCAG 2.0 AA.
  • Websites, apps, and documents built before 2018 often fail modern requirements.
  • Accessibility must be integrated into procurement and development lifecycles.

DOJ ADA Title II Final Rule

State and local governments must meet WCAG 2.1 AA for websites and mobile apps.
  • Compliance deadlines: 2027 for large entities, 2028 for smaller entities
  • Public sector organizations must upgrade from WCAG 2.0 to 2.1 AA.
  • Vendors providing digital tools to government clients must comply.
  • Mobile apps are explicitly regulated for the first time.

Comprehensive WCAG + Section 508 Audits

Deep technical and functional testing across websites, applications, documents, and digital workflows.
  • Automated scanning

  • Assistive technology testing (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver)
  • Risk scoring and prioritized remediation roadmap

Staff Augmentation

We provide high quality resources with 508 compliance backgrounds who can assist your organization to evaluate and implement the necessary changes.

How These Changes Affect Your Digital Ecosystem:

Higher Legal and Financial Risk: Accessibility lawsuits continue to rise across all industries. Non compliance can lead to litigation, OCR investigations, loss of funding, and reputational damage.
Increased Requirements for Mobile Accessibility: WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 introduce strict rules for touch targets, gestures, and responsive behavior — affecting nearly every modern interface.
Greater Scrutiny of Design Systems and Components: Navigation, modals, carousels, forms, and custom components often fail new focus and interaction criteria.
Document Accessibility Is Now Mandatory: PDFs, Word documents, training materials, and reports must meet WCAG/508 standards — a major gap for many organizations.
Mobile Apps Are Now Regulated: The 2024 ADA rule explicitly covers iOS and Android apps, requiring full WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.
