The AODA, in plain English

What Ontario actually requires of your website.

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act sets a hard standard and a hard deadline. Here’s the part that affects you.

  • Applies to Ontario organizations with 20+ employees
  • Compliance report due by December 31, 2026
  • Public websites & content must meet WCAG 2.0/2.2 Level AA (IASR)
  • Penalties up to $100,000/day (corporation) and $50,000/day (director)
  • Enforced by the Accessibility Directorate of Ontario — plus human-rights complaints

Step one

A real audit — not a one-click scan.

Automated tools alone miss roughly two-thirds of accessibility barriers. We combine them with manual testing using the same assistive technology your disabled customers rely on.

  • Automated scan across key templates and flows
  • Manual testing with real screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA)
  • Keyboard-only and focus-order review
  • Colour-contrast and target-size checks (WCAG 2.2)
  • Prioritised, plain-English report — ranked by risk
  • Audit-ready conformance documentation for your filing

The most important slide

Why we never use overlay widgets.

They feel like a shortcut. In reality they leave most of your risk live — and wave a red flag at the lawyers looking for it.

“Free” accessibility widgets & overlays

  • A cosmetic JavaScript layer bolted on top of the page
  • Catches only ~30–40% of WCAG failures
  • Not accepted by courts as a legal defense
  • Flagged by plaintiff firms as a target signal
  • Often breaks the experience for real screen-reader users

The PassProof way

  • We remediate the actual source code
  • Manual + assistive-tech testing for real coverage
  • Documented, audit-ready WCAG 2.2 AA conformance
  • Removes the signal — and the underlying risk
  • Tested with the tools disabled people actually use

Transparent, fixed-range pricing

Audit, then remediate.

No black-box quotes. Document remediation (PDF / Word) is $4–$13 per page (scanned/OCR up to $60.50).

Objections, answered

What owners ask before they trust us with this.

We already installed an accessibility widget. Aren’t we covered?
Unfortunately, that’s often the most expensive position to be in. Overlays catch only ~30–40% of WCAG failures, courts have refused to accept them as a defense, and plaintiff firms specifically search for these scripts as a target signal. We remove the widget and fix the underlying code.
Isn’t an automated scan enough?
No. Automated tools find roughly a third of issues. Things like logical reading order, meaningful alt text, keyboard traps and screen-reader labelling need a human. Every PassProof audit includes manual assistive-tech testing.
Do our PDFs and Word documents need to comply too?
Yes — public-facing documents are in scope under the AODA. We remediate PDFs and Word files for $4–$13 per page; scanned files needing OCR run up to $60.50 per page.
What do we actually file for the compliance report?
We hand you documentation describing your conformance to WCAG 2.2 AA, the testing performed, and remaining items with a remediation plan — exactly what you need for your AODA report and for your counsel.
