Driving Digital Inclusion with Accessibility Audits, EAA Compliance & Strategies At Allxs, I help organizations achieve digital inclusion by delivering accessibility audits, guiding European Accessibility Act (EAA) compliance, and building long-term accessibility strategies. My work follows WCAG 2.2 standards, providing clear insights, severity levels, and actionable recommendations to resolve accessibility barriers. Beyond audits, I support organizations in embedding accessibility into governance, procurement, policies, and daily operations through tailored roadmaps, SOPs, and accessibility policies. With the Accessibility Champions Program and Playbook, I empower teams to lead accessibility efforts, strengthen skills through training, and foster a lasting culture of inclusion.
