Certificate overview
Accessibility has become top of mind for many industries due to the Accessibility for Ontarians Disabilities Act (AODA). The Ontario government has taken the measure to create a fully accessible Ontario by 2025. AODA is part of this legislation. The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disability Act mandates that all businesses, companies, institutions, and organizations provide their materials in an inclusive way. Accessibility best practices will be reviewed and discussed with a focus on internal and external communication materials. This course will cover the AODA legislation and company responsibilities and deadlines for compliance.
