Accessibility roadmap

Below you will find details on the more practical aspects of implementing accessibility at Scolab. Here is the outline of:

  • Short-term goals: Our team has been asked to work on this as our next objective.
  • Long-term objectives: The large-scope, long-term objectives that we have shared with all teams and that are considered in our larger business roadmap.
  • Progress: What we have done up to now to move toward those goals.
