    One Partner for the Entire Accessibility Journey

    Most providers do one thing — build new courses or fix old ones. IKHYA covers everything: accessibility audits, VPAT documentation, new WCAG-compliant course development, and full remediation of your existing library.

    Whether you are a US federal agency facing Section 508 procurement requirements, a Fortune 500 company with a legacy catalogue of inaccessible courses, a university managing ADA obligations, or a healthcare organisation rolling out compliant training — we deliver a single, accountable end-to-end service.

    "We never treat accessibility as an afterthought. Every course we build starts with an accessibility design brief — keyboard navigation, screen reader structure, colour contrast, captions, and alt text are all planned before a single slide is authored."
    — Head of Accessibility Practice, IKHYA

    Our Accessibility Services

    Four Core Services. Two Sector Specialisations. One Complete Solution.

    Every service in our accessibility practice is designed to connect to the next — so you can start anywhere in the lifecycle and know you have a partner that will see you through to full compliance.
    🔍

    Accessibility Audit & VPAT Documentation

    We evaluate your existing eLearning catalogue against WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA and Section 508 criteria using a combination of automated scanning and manual expert review. Every audit produces a detailed findings report and a completed VPAT — the document federal procurement teams and enterprise vendor assessors require before they will accept your content.

    🔧

    Legacy Course Remediation

    Already have a library of inaccessible courses built in Articulate Storyline, Rise, Captivate, Lectora, or iSpring? Our accessibility specialists rework the content — adding proper alt text, keyboard navigation, focus order, screen reader labels, captions, transcripts, and sufficient colour contrast — without rebuilding from scratch. Faster, cheaper, and compliant.

    New Accessible Course Development

    Building new training? Accessibility is baked into our development process from day one — not bolted on at the end. Our instructional designers and developers follow an accessibility-first design brief on every project: semantic structure, keyboard-only navigation, screen reader testing with NVDA and JAWS, captions on all video, and SCORM/xAPI packages verified against WCAG 2.2 AA before delivery.

    Section 508 Compliance for Government

    US federal agencies and their vendors operate under the strictest accessibility procurement rules in the world. IKHYA has extensive experience developing and remediating eLearning for government clients — delivering Section 508-conformant SCORM packages with full VPAT documentation, accessibility test reports, and remediation logs ready for procurement review.

    Accessible eLearning for Higher Education

    Universities and colleges must ensure digital course content is accessible under the ADA and Section 504. IKHYA helps higher education institutions audit LMS-hosted content, remediate online courses and faculty training programmes, and establish accessible content standards for new development — ensuring equal access for students and staff with disabilities.

    Accessible Healthcare & Pharma Training

    Healthcare organisations face both ADA compliance obligations and the practical challenge of ensuring clinical and compliance training reaches every employee — including those with visual, hearing, or cognitive disabilities. IKHYA builds accessible healthcare eLearning that meets WCAG 2.2 AA, works with JAWS and NVDA, and is verified for keyboard-only use across all major LMS platforms.

    Our End-to-End Process

    From First Audit to Full Compliance — Six Clear Steps

    Unlike providers who handle only one part of the accessibility problem, IKHYA manages the complete journey. Here is how we take you from current state to certified compliance.
    1

    Discovery & Scoping

    We review your course catalogue, LMS environment, target learner profile, and compliance obligations (Section 508, WCAG, ADA, EAA). We agree on scope, timeline, and deliverables before any work begins. You leave this stage with a written project brief and a fixed quote.

    2

    Accessibility Audit

    Our specialists run both automated and manual testing against WCAG 2.2 AA criteria — checking keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility (NVDA, JAWS), colour contrast ratios, alt text, captions, focus order, and interactive element labelling. You receive a full issues log within 5 business days.

    3

    Findings Report & VPAT

    You receive a prioritised findings report mapping every barrier to its WCAG/508 criterion, a remediation effort estimate, and a completed VPAT documenting current conformance status — ready for procurement or legal review.

    4

    Remediation or New Build

    We fix identified barriers in existing courses, or build new content from scratch using our accessibility-first development framework. Every element — interactions, video, audio, documents — is addressed systematically. You receive progress updates at each milestone so there are no surprises at handover.

    5

    Verification Testing

    Before delivery, all content goes through a second round of manual testing with assistive technologies. We verify every fix landed correctly and that no new barriers were introduced during development. Only content that passes this second review is signed off for delivery.

    6

    Delivery & Updated VPAT

    You receive the final SCORM/xAPI package alongside an updated VPAT reflecting full conformance, a test report log, and a remediation record. Everything your procurement or legal team needs is in one document set.

    Who We Serve

    Accessible eLearning Designed for Your Sector

    Different organisations face different compliance obligations and learner needs. Here is how IKHYA tailors accessible eLearning delivery for each sector.
    🏛️

    US Federal & Government

    Section 508 · ADA · VPAT Required

    Federal agencies must meet Section 508 for all eLearning procurement. Only 23% of top-visited federal websites currently achieve full conformance. IKHYA delivers audits, remediation, and new builds with VPAT documentation — all formatted to pass procurement review without rework.

    SCORM-Packaged Full VPAT Included Procurement-Ready
    🏢

    Corporate & Enterprise L&D

    ADA · WCAG 2.2 AA · DEI Alignment

    Fortune 500 companies and large enterprises face both ADA legal obligations and growing pressure from DEI programmes to ensure training is inclusive. IKHYA audits large catalogue libraries, prioritises the highest-risk content first, and delivers remediation programmes scaled to enterprise volume — without disrupting your existing LMS.

    Catalogue Audit Batch Remediation DEI-Aligned
    🎓

    Higher Education & Universities

    ADA · Section 504 · OCR Complaints

    More than 1 in 8 students in the UK reports a disability — a figure mirrored across US and global institutions. Universities face OCR complaints and federal audits when LMS-hosted courses are inaccessible. IKHYA audits online course content, remediates faculty-created materials, and helps establish institutional accessibility standards across Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, and D2L.

    🏥

    Healthcare & Pharma

    ADA · HIPAA · Workforce Inclusivity

    Healthcare organisations must train every employee — including clinical staff with disabilities — on compliance, clinical skills, and safety procedures. IKHYA builds accessible training that is verified with NVDA and JAWS, fully keyboard-navigable, and delivered in SCORM packages compatible with healthcare LMS platforms including HealthStream and Cornerstone.

    What Makes Our Accessibility Service Different

    Competitors offer accessibility as an upsell. We build it into our process — and we handle everything from audit to final VPAT, so you never need to manage multiple vendors.
    🔄

    Full Lifecycle — One Vendor

    Audit, VPAT, remediation, new builds, and re-testing are all handled by the same team. No handoff gaps, no version confusion, no finger-pointing between providers.

    Accessibility-First, Not Accessibility-After

    New courses begin with an accessibility design brief — not a post-development checklist. This eliminates costly rework and produces courses that are genuinely accessible, not technically "fixed."

    📋

    VPAT Included as Standard

    Every project — whether a new build or a remediation — includes a completed VPAT. Most vendors charge extra for this. We include it because it is the document that proves your compliance.

    🧪

    Real Assistive Technology Testing

    We test with actual screen readers — NVDA and JAWS on desktop, VoiceOver on iOS, TalkBack on Android. Automated checkers miss 30–40% of real-world barriers. We do not rely on them alone.

    🌍

    Multi-Standard, Multi-Market

    We build to WCAG 2.2 AA as the baseline — which simultaneously satisfies Section 508, the ADA, the EU Accessibility Act, and the UK Equality Act. One course, compliant everywhere.

    Fast Turnaround on Remediation

    A standard 30-minute Storyline course can be audited and remediated in 2–3 weeks. We prioritise your most critical or high-risk content first so you see compliance wins quickly.

    Common Questions

    Accessible eLearning — Questions We Hear Every Day

    Clear answers to the questions L&D managers, compliance officers, procurement teams, and university administrators ask us most.

    How much does an accessible eLearning audit or remediation cost?

    Pricing depends on course length, complexity, and the number of barriers found. As a general guide, a single-course accessibility audit typically starts from $500–$1,500, while full remediation of a 30-minute Storyline course starts from $1,500–$3,500. Larger catalogue projects are priced per course with volume discounts applied. VPAT documentation is included in every audit and remediation project at no additional charge. Contact us for a scoped quote — we respond within 48 hours.

    What is the difference between WCAG 2.1 and WCAG 2.2?

    WCAG 2.2 (released in 2023) adds 9 new success criteria to WCAG 2.1, focusing on mobile usability, cognitive accessibility, and modern authentication flows. IKHYA builds new content to WCAG 2.2 AA as standard. If your organisation's compliance policy references WCAG 2.1 AA, WCAG 2.2 AA fully satisfies it — it is a superset.

    Does my organisation need to comply with Section 508 if it is not a federal agency?

    Section 508 is a legal requirement for US federal agencies and organisations receiving federal funding. However, 42% of global organisations now voluntarily follow Section 508 because it aligns with US procurement requirements and reduces future remediation costs. If you supply training to federal clients, their contracts will require it.

    What is a VPAT and why does my organisation need one?

    A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) is a document that details how a digital product conforms to WCAG and Section 508 criteria. US federal agencies require a completed VPAT from every vendor before accepting training content. Many large enterprises and universities also require VPATs as part of their vendor due diligence process.

    How long does it take to remediate an existing eLearning course?

    A standard 30-minute Storyline or Rise course typically takes 2–3 weeks to fully audit and remediate, including a second round of verification testing. Timelines vary with the number and severity of barriers found, the complexity of interactions, and the volume of video content that needs captions. We provide a precise estimate after the initial audit.

    Can IKHYA build accessible eLearning in languages other than English?

    Yes. IKHYA combines accessible eLearning development with our translation and localization service — producing WCAG-compliant courses in 40+ languages, with native-language captions, right-to-left layout support where required, and culturally adapted alt text. Accessibility standards are applied across every language version.

    Which LMS platforms do your accessible courses work with?

    IKHYA delivers SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, and xAPI packages verified for accessibility on all major platforms including Cornerstone, Workday Learning, SAP SuccessFactors, Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, D2L Brightspace, Docebo, TalentLMS, and HealthStream.
