Making school websites accessible for every family is this ai-powered solution from Edlio.

For many families, a school’s website is the central hub for vital information—announcements, schedules, resources, and emergency updates. But for students and parents with disabilities, navigating these digital spaces can be a challenge. Missing alt text, poor color contrast, and inaccessible navigation can create barriers that exclude members of the school community. With new regulations and heightened awareness of digital equity, schools are under increasing pressure to ensure their websites are accessible to everyone.

Recognizing this urgent need, Edlio, a leading provider of technology solutions for K-12 schools, has introduced Edlio Accessibility, a powerful AI-driven tool designed to help schools instantly meet ADA compliance. This game-changing solution allows administrators to scan and correct accessibility issues with a single click, ensuring seamless engagement for students, parents, and community members.

“We understand that monitoring and fixing website accessibility issues can be a major challenge for busy school leaders,” says Ali Arsan, CEO of Edlio. “That’s why we developed a comprehensive, AI-powered solution that simplifies compliance while fostering an inclusive school community. Meeting ADA guidelines isn’t just a requirement—it’s about ensuring every student and family can stay informed and engaged.”

Leveraging generative AI, Edlio Accessibility scans school websites, identifying and correcting the majority of accessibility issues with the click of a button. The tool, which is built directly into the Edlio website CMS dashboard, ensures compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and meets Level AA conformance with WCAG 2.1 standards. Key features include:

• Alt Text Generation – Automatically creates or updates alternative text for images.
• Color Contrast Adjustments – Fixes text and background color contrast for readability.
• Text Link Improvements – Identifies and corrects vague or missing link descriptions.
• Tab Navigation Optimization – Aligns website headings for smooth keyboard navigation.
• Table Structuring – Corrects headers, columns, and overall structure to simplify complex tables.

Beyond the initial accessibility audit, Edlio Accessibility makes it easy for schools to review new content, ensuring that it remains compliant. The tool also generates a detailed report highlighting unresolved issues, such as inaccessible PDFs or content readability concerns, so that administrators can take action.

Accessibility has long been a priority for Edlio. The company has consistently designed school websites in alignment with WCAG guidelines, offering built-in tools like alt-text generation and closed captioning.

For schools looking to enhance their digital accessibility, Edlio Accessibility provides an efficient, automated solution that empowers administrators to create more inclusive online experiences for their communities.
