Accessibility Consulting

Assistive technology bridges the gap between disability and inaccessible materials. However, content creators (which nowadays is practically everyone) should consider accessibility early and often during the creative process. Whether you are creating websites, print, or electronic documents, video, or audio, we can provide you with best practices, evaluation, remediation, and suggest tools to help you get "accessible" quickly. Learn how to make your documents accessible using popular software applications and ensure that your message reaches your entire audience.

Assistive Technology Evaluations: School, Workplace, home.

Disabilities often limit or complicate access to information; in eliminating those barriers, your first step should be obtaining a thorough evaluation of your needs. For many, limitations could be the inability to use a computer or smartphone or read printed text due to low or no vision. However, there are countless barriers put in place by disability and inaccessibility to information that can be overcome by using appropriate technology solutions. Many individuals suffer daily with unnecessary limitations on their independence and abilities and are unaware of solutions that can help. 

StateTek provides assessment services to individuals at home, in the workplace, large organizations, or small businesses to help assess the needs of their customers with disabilities or the individual consumer. We can tailor our recommendations within the framework of your organization or particular needs.

Technology Troubleshoot: Software & Hardware.

We are well versed in many assistive technologies, including JAWS, ZoomText, GUIDE, CDesk (also with Peggy), Dragon Naturally Speaking, VoiceOver, WindowEyes, WYNN, OpenBook, Kurzweil 1000 & 3000, including many other software and iOS apps. We can help you optimize your environment through smart home devices, voice assistants, and even leverage existing accessibility options included your existing computing device.

Assistive technology solutions can often be very sensitive to specific versions or other standard technologies such as web browsers or word processors and may not work as expected. Also, customers who rely on assistive technology can often be at a distinct disadvantage in protecting themselves from online threats due to the user's reduced context. Our troubleshooting services are not limited to assistive technology software and hardware; we also support standard technology, including various desktop operating systems and mobile devices; Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.

Training

In addition to software training, we also provide training on various popular assistive hardware devices such as hand-held digital audio players, stand-alone scan and read solutions, and alternative and augmentative input devices. Training can occur at your location, either one-on-one or via remote assistance. In short, we can tailor our services to meet your needs.
