Document Remediation Vendors

Docs and PDFs are a versatile and convenient way to share information. But, if they are not created with accessibility in mind, barriers may be present that make the content confusing or inaccessible. 

While there are best practices to follow in order to create accessible documents, if you are short on time or have a particularly complex document, there are also Harvard preferred vendors for document remediation you may hire to fix the document for you for a cost.
