Accessibility Program Manager Services

How I Can Help You

As an Accessibility Program Manager (APM), I work alongside your internal teams to build structure, clarity, and consistency around digital accessibility. My role is to make accessibility practical, manageable, and sustainable across your organization.

I focus on helping teams understand what needs to be done, why it matters, and how to do it without disrupting existing workflows.

I do not just identify problems - I help teams understand how to move forward. I support organizations by creating and managing an accessibility program that fits their size, maturity, and risk profile:

Accessibility Leadership: What's the Difference?

Fractional Accessibility Program Manager (APM)

As a Fractional APM, I act as an embedded accessibility leader without being a full-time employee.

This option works well when accessibility needs leadership and continuity, but not a full-time hire.

What This Looks Like:

  • Ongoing, scheduled involvement
  • Strategic guidance combined with hands-on support
  • Consistent oversight across teams, vendors, and projects


Outcomes:

  • Accessibility work stays coordinated and moving forward
  • Teams have a clear point of contact for accessibility decisions
  • Progress continues without the cost or commitment of a full-time role

Internal Accessibility Hire (Full-Time Employment)

An internal accessibility role is a full-time employee dedicated to accessibility.

This option can work for large organizations with mature accessibility programs and long-term staffing plans.

What This Looks Like:

  • Deep internal knowledge and daily availability
  • Long-term ownership of accessibility responsibilities


Limitations to Consider:

  • High cost and long hiring timeline
  • Often requires significant ramp-up and mentoring
  • One person may still lack cross-industry experience

Accessibility Consultant (Project-Based)

A consultant is typically brought in for a specific task or timeframe.

This option works best for one-time assessments, but not for long-term program management.

What This Looks Like:

  • Short-term engagement
  • Focus on audits, reports, or remediation guidance


Limitations to Consider:

  • Limited continuity once the project ends
  • Accessibility knowledge often leaves with the consultant
  • Teams may still struggle to maintain progress afterward
