Blind-Led ADA Compliance & WCAG Accessibility Consulting — Real Audits by a Consultant Who Is Blind

Accessibility is a legal requirement, a business necessity, and for millions of Americans, the difference between being able to use your services or being shut out entirely. When businesses fail to meet ADA compliance standards or WCAG 2.2 guidelines, they don't just face legal risk — they lose customers who are blind, have low vision, or rely on assistive technology to navigate the world.

Apex Access Consulting was founded by a blind consultant with Retinitis Pigmentosa who uses a screen reader every single day. This is not theoretical work. The barriers we identify in your physical space or on your website are barriers we personally encounter in real life. No automated scan, no sighted consultant running a checklist, and no accessibility widget can replicate that perspective.

We provide three core services: in-person physical ADA compliance audits, WCAG 2.2 website accessibility audits conducted using real screen reader technology, and staff training that prepares your team to confidently and respectfully serve blind and low vision customers. Every service is grounded in lived experience and guided by professional accessibility standards through our ongoing CPACC certification training at Deque University.

Whether you run a restaurant in Liverpool, a healthcare office in Fayetteville, a retail store in Baldwinsville, or operate a business website serving customers across the country — if your space or your site has accessibility barriers, we can find them, document them, and help you fix them before they become a lawsuit, a complaint, or a lost customer.

Apex Access Consulting is based in Syracuse, NY and proudly serves businesses throughout Central New York — including Auburn, Baldwinsville, Brewerton, Camillus, Central Square, Cicero, Clay, Constantia, East Syracuse, Fayetteville, Liverpool, Manlius, Marcellus, Mattydale, Minoa, North Syracuse, Oswego, Pennellville, and Solvay — as well as businesses nationwide seeking blind-led accessibility expertise.

Most accessibility evaluations rely on automated scanners that catch somewhere between 30 and 40 percent of real accessibility issues. The rest — broken screen reader navigation, confusing form labels, inaccessible interactive elements, poorly structured content — only surface when a real person using real assistive technology actually tries to use your site or move through your space.

That is exactly what we do. We test your website with the same screen reader technology blind users depend on daily. We walk your physical space the way a blind customer would — evaluating entry points, signage, navigation pathways, and environmental hazards based on what it actually feels like to move through that environment without sight.

Our findings are not abstract. They are documented, prioritized, and delivered in a clear report that tells you exactly what the problem is, why it matters, and what to do about it. No jargon. No guesswork. Just honest, practical guidance from someone who lives with these barriers every day.

Accessibility done right protects your business from ADA lawsuits, expands your customer base, and demonstrates a genuine commitment to inclusion. We are here to help you get there — whether you are a small business in Camillus or a national organization looking for a consultant who truly understands what it means to navigate the world as a blind person.
