Digital Accessibility

Accessibility Monitoring

Keep accessibility moving forward.

Your website, app, or digital product changes over time. New features launch, content changes, components evolve, and previously identified issues are fixed.

C4AT provides ongoing, human-led accessibility monitoring to help you catch new barriers, verify improvements, and keep accessibility from slipping as your product changes.

Monitoring Responds to What Changes

This isn't the same audit repeated again and again.

We focus each monitoring cycle on what actually changed, what matters most, and where accessibility risk is greatest.

How accessibility monitoring responds when a digital product changes
When your product changesHow monitoring responds
A new feature shipsWe test the feature and its key interactions.
Navigation or a key user journey changesWe retest the affected journey from beginning to end.
Previously reported issues are fixedWe verify the fixes and check for related regressions.
A new user journey launchesWe add the journey to monitoring coverage.
A shared component changesWe test the component and check the places where it appears.
A recurring issue emergesWe identify the pattern and help your team address its root cause.

Each report reflects the work completed in that cycle: what changed, what was tested, what was fixed, what remains, and what your team should address next.

How Accessibility Monitoring Works

  1. Test

    Expert accessibility testing

    We test what changed, including new features, important user journeys, components, and previously identified issues.

  2. Listen

    People with disabilities

    People with disabilities bring perspectives that technical testing alone cannot provide. User testing can be incorporated into monitoring to help us understand how changing digital experiences work in real life.

  3. Report

    Clear, actionable findings

    We document new barriers, verified fixes, recurring patterns, priorities, and practical remediation guidance.

  4. Improve

    Keep moving forward

    We review findings with your team, answer questions, identify priorities, and use what we learn to inform the next monitoring cycle.

See the Bigger Picture

Ongoing monitoring helps your team see patterns that are harder to recognize in a one-time review.

New barriers

What appeared since the last review?

Verified fixes

Did remediation solve the problem?

Recurring patterns

Are the same accessibility issues coming back?

Progress over time

Where is accessibility improving, and where does more work remain?

A Cadence That Fits Your Product

Monitoring can follow a monthly schedule or another agreed cadence and can focus on releases, components, user journeys, previous findings, or areas of greatest accessibility risk.

The goal isn't simply to find issues on a schedule. It's to help your team make steady progress and keep accessibility part of the development process.

User Testing Can Be Part of Monitoring

People with disabilities can bring perspectives to monitoring that technical evaluation alone cannot provide, especially as new features and interactions emerge.

Accessibility is ongoing. We can help you keep it moving.

Find issues. Understand them. Fix them. Keep moving forward.
