Accessibility Improvements
BBN Labs improves business accessibility on two fronts. Digital: website audits against WCAG, contrast and keyboard fixes, accessible forms and menus, captions and an accessibility statement. Physical and communication: high-contrast and large-print signage, clear directional signs, and accessible building directories. Construction work (ramps, doors, washrooms) is scoped by us and carried out by licensed trades.
What you get
- Website accessibility audit with prioritized fixes
- Colour-contrast, keyboard-navigation and focus improvements
- Accessible forms, error handling and screen-reader labels
- Accessible menus and document remediation coordination
- Captions for video content
- Accessibility statement page
- High-contrast, large-print and tactile signage concepts (tactile fabrication via partners)
- Directional signs and accessible directory design
- Partner coordination for ramps, doors, washrooms and hearing systems
- Documentation ready to attach to a funding application
What it fixes
- Your website locks out customers using screen readers or keyboards
- Signage is unreadable for low-vision customers
- Accessibility rules (Ontario's AODA, and similar laws in other provinces) feel vague until a complaint lands
- Renovation-scale accessibility work has no obvious starting point
Where a project includes physical work, it is completed by licensed contractors BBN coordinates.

The honest read on funding
Accessibility projects may align with dedicated programs. The federal Enabling Accessibility Fund runs periodic intakes for construction projects. Some municipal CIPs include accessibility streams (Lakeshore's is currently 75% up to $2,000). All are subject to program rules, intake timing and approval.

Frequently asked questions
Is BBN Labs an AODA compliance auditor?
We audit against WCAG and accessibility good practice, fix what's digital, and manage the construction work through licensed trades. We are not a certification body. For formal compliance certification or legal interpretation, we point you to the right professionals, and we say so up front.
The Enabling Accessibility Fund looks closed. Should I wait?
Don't wait to get ready. EAF intakes recur, and prepared applicants (scoped project, quotes, photos in hand) move fastest when a window opens. Digital accessibility fixes shouldn't wait at all; they win you customers now.
