We aim to bridge gaps!

1. The accessibility gap between software and users of assistive technology.
2. The gap between designers, software developers, architects, builders, owners of public facilities and training providers, and users of their products and services.

1. By providing, one-on-one or group training in the use of software with their respective assistive technology.
2. By the providing of training, coaching, and mentoring of providers of products and services to improve accessibility for all the users of that product or service.
3. By the providing of affordable, comprehensive digital accessibility test reports on websites, documents, and other electronic publications.
4. By always raising the accessibility bar by conducting research to find ways to make assistive technology work better and more affordable.
5. By conducting accessibility assessments of the highest quality in the built environment.

A-11-Y South-Africa aims to harness existing technology, such as opensource libraries, free assistive technology and the experience of persons living with disabilities to bring cost effective, affordable, and sustainable accessibility and usability test reports from South-Africa to the rest of Africa and the world.

Ninety-seven percent of websites have accessibility and usability problems and will stay so unless website owners and content creators can find a sustainable solution to assist them to address the current issues on there websites and other electronic publications.

Not only does the cost of assistive technology creates significant barriers for persons living with a disability, low bandwidth, inaccessible content, and lack of knowledge form part of the ever-increasing gap that exclude the most vulnerable among us from freely participate in society. We aim to bridge this gap by partnering with technology giants, to stand on their shoulders, to utilize existing systems to create a platform containing low-cost, high-quality accessibility reports of all known websites, prioritizing websites in low to middle income countries. The more accessible a website is, the more users, especially users of low-cost devices, will be able to use, operate and understand the content. We believe that the need for reasonable accommodation reduces as electronic content become more accessible.
