2021 Interagency Accessibility Forum (IAAF): Resources From Microassist

Our Microassist team is excited to take part in this year’s Interagency Accessibility Forum. We have gathered resources facing stakeholders in evaluating accessibility for technology purchases in government as we launch our new online training on how to use a VPAT during the evaluation process.

Understanding the VPAT Analysis and Determination Process

In this actionable training, teams can review a supplier’s VPAT/ACR using a Standard Form with a Standard Process and arrive at a Standard, Justifiable, and Documented Conclusion.

  • A 3-hour, online, self-paced course that results in a Course Certificate upon successful completion.
