Accessibility Solutions for Government & Public Sector

Improve government accessibility and strengthen public service delivery

Government agencies rely on accessible technology to deliver services and keep operations moving. When systems aren’t accessible, efficiency drops and compliance risks rise. Vispero helps federal, state, and local teams maintain accessibility across internal workflows and public-facing services, reducing risk and improving service delivery.

Where accessibility is required across government services

Government and public sector organizations have accessibility obligations in two distinct areas:
Workforce Access and Systems
Agencies must ensure employees who are blind or have low vision can use the tools required for their jobs, including software, documents, and training content. Providing compatible assistive technology and accessible services improves productivity, reduces support overhead, and mitigates compliance risks.

Public-Facing Services
The public needs to independently access government websites, online forms, portals, and self-service kiosks. These systems are subject to federal, state, and local accessibility laws. When public-facing services fall out of compliance, agencies face delays, complaints, and formal risk exposure.

Solutions tailored to federal, state, and local government needs

Accessibility requirements differ across federal agencies, state and local governments, and vocational rehabilitation services. Explore the pathways below for guidance and technology aligned to your organization.

Federal Agencies

JAWS Inspect for development teams

A testing tool purpose-built to validate compatibility with JAWS and accelerate defect identification. JAWS Inspect enables developers and QA teams to test efficiently without needing deep AT expertise.

Making public-facing digital services accessible for all

How the VA improved accessibility and workforce performance

Vispero helped the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs empower its workforce using JAWS, ZoomText, Fusion and JAWS Inspect, paired with our consultative training and ongoing support. Through a $2.3 million partnership with ThunderCat Technology, the VA improved accessibility, communication, and efficiency across its operations. This collaboration demonstrates how enterprise assistive technology and expert implementation can improve accessibility and efficiency for federal employees and the veterans they serve.

Strengthening government service delivery through accessibility

Reliable access is a baseline expectation in public service. Vispero helps government and public sector organizations maintain that standard with assistive technology, testing, and support that keep compliance on track, workforces productive, and public-facing services running smoothly.
