Budgeting for ADA Title II Compliance: Preparing Your Institution for the 2027 & 2028 PDF Accessibility Deadlines
Most institutions already have years of inaccessible PDFs online — and the budget conversation has to happen before remediation can begin. Learn how to scope the problem, build a realistic FY26/FY27 budget, and use AI-assisted remediation to control cost and risk.
The DOJ's ADA Title II rule sets two hard deadlines:
- April 26, 2027 — public entities serving populations over 50,000
- April 26, 2028 — public entities serving populations under 50,000
Remediation at scale takes months, and budget approval takes a full cycle on top of that. Waiting until 2027 means missing both. This session shows you how to start the budget now — with real numbers, not guesses.
What This Webinar Covers
- The Real Scope of the Problem: Where inaccessible PDFs hide and why they're so hard to fix.
- Budgeting Fundamentals: The four cost categories every accessibility budget needs.
- A 12–18 Month Roadmap: A phased plan you can take straight to leadership.
- Risk, Security & Procurement: Audit trails, vendor contract language, and what gets overlooked.
- AI vs. Human Review: Where AI cuts timelines from years to days — and where it can't.
- A Real-World Scenario: Budgeting for 750,000 legacy PDFs across one university.
Your inaccessible PDF backlog won't shrink on its own. Your budget window is closing faster than the deadline. Join us to build a compliance plan your leadership will actually fund.
