Expert Accessibility Consultants Michigan
Michigan businesses rely on Accessibility Innovations when accessibility starts getting complicated. Whether you’re in Detroit, Grand Rapids, or Ann Arbor, we help fix ADA issues, improve website accessibility, and close compliance gaps before they turn into bigger problems. From inaccessible forms to full website audits, we make it clear what’s wrong and how to fix it. No jargon, no confusion—just practical help you can act on.
Achieve Your ADA Compliance Goals with Accessibility Innovations
We work with businesses, schools, and government offices across Michigan that need to meet accessibility requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Michigan’s IT accessibility standards. The Michigan Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act (PWDCRA) also extends anti-discrimination protections to disability access in employment and public services.
Our team helps you identify issues, fix them, and build processes to stay compliant. The ADA Title II digital accessibility deadline was recently extended — large Michigan public entities now have until April 2027, and smaller entities until April 2028. The extension gives you more runway, but the underlying obligation hasn’t changed.
Digital Audits and Certifications
A digital accessibility audit finds the barriers that stop people with disabilities from using your website, app, or digital content and shows you exactly how to fix them.
