Problem and Solution Statements

Despite significant technological advancements, the digital world remains largely inaccessible to millions of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). This is because only 3% of the internet meets accessibility standards. Many websites, apps, and digital tools fail to prioritize accessibility, thereby creating significant barriers to education, employment, and social connection for PWDs. This perpetuates inequality and limits opportunities for meaningful participation in the digital age.

ZATS bridges the digital accessibility gap by prioritizing the creation and improvement of inclusive digital platforms that exceed global accessibility standards. This involves designing websites, apps, and tools with universal usability in mind, ensuring they cater to the diverse needs of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). We empower organizations to create inclusive digital experiences by providing user testing with PWDs, accessibility compliance assessments, and digital remediation services. ZATS’s efforts break down barriers and enable PWDs to access education, employment, and social connections, thereby fostering a more accessible and inclusive digital world.
