Accessibility report on the customer service standard

Question two:  Does your organization’s policies address the use of assistive devices by people with disabilities to access your organization’s goods or services, or any available alternative measures that enable them to do so?


What does it look like for you to check yes to this question??

The best way to address this question is to ensure that your company/organization’s Accessible Customer Service Policy speaks to the use of assistive devices. The policy could also include requirements for alternate measures as needed. Individual policies and procedures would need to address the use of assistive devices and have a requirement for alternate measures as needed.


Is there anything else that could be done to ensure that a company can check YES to this second question.
