Compliance

As of January 1st 2021, under the AODA, all public sector organizations must ensure their Internet websites and web content adhere to Level AA standard as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.

Training

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) Office has partnered with the Centre for Learning, Leadership & Culture (LLC) to offer a variety of training sessions for staff and librarians to learn more about these new guidelines and how we can work to ensure that our content is as accessible as possible.

We have a range of upcoming AODA sessions scheduled, including:

If you are unable to register for a session or are interested in a topic that is not currently covered, we would like to hear from you! Please contact Ben Poynton for more information on how you can get involved.

Compliance and Consultation

We are committed to improving the quality of our internal and external websites. Our team can help conduct web reviews for U of T departments as well as provide strategic advice and consultations during the design and development phases of your project.

Request a review

Why request an review?

An AODA review will help provide you with a thorough review of your website’s accessibility, as well as strategies for making any necessary changes.

When should you request a review?

Reviews can be requested at any time during the lifecycle of a website but are especially critical in the early design and development phases. Early detection of accessibility issues can help prevent unexpected development costs and flag potential problems for your site visitors.
