  • WCAG 2.1 AA Standards
  • "[Taika] consistently exceeded our expectations... over the past six months." - Shelley Bales, Belton Independent School District (BISD)

What is the difference between ADA, Section 508, and WCAG?

ADA is the civil-rights law requiring effective communication and access. Section 508 is the federal regulation requiring federal agencies' electronic and information technology to be accessible. WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the technical standard both are commonly measured against — the current DOJ ADA Title II rule adopts WCAG 2.1 AA.

The deadlines are set — and complaints don't wait for them

DOJ's ADA Title II rule requires WCAG 2.1 AA compliance by April 2027 for larger public entities and April 2028 for smaller ones — and demand letters, OCR complaints, and private lawsuits are already routine for inaccessible PDFs and websites. Every inaccessible document you publish today is tomorrow's remediation backlog, or exhibit.

Accessibility specialists who hold themselves to the same standard

Taika's team works to Section 508, WCAG 2.0/2.1/2.2, ADA, and PDF/UA standards for school districts, agencies, and healthcare organizations — trusted by state and federal agencies, on GSA and NASPO ValuePoint contracts, serving major U.S. school districts. And because language access and disability access usually arrive as one obligation, the same vendor handles your translations, ASL/CART, and remediation.

Your path to compliance

  1. Free accessibility assessment

    Send a sample of your documents or content — we tell you exactly what fails, what it takes to fix, and what to prioritize. Free, no obligation.

  2. Remediation with verification

    Documents and content are remediated to WCAG 2.1 AA / Section 508 / PDF-UA and verified with the same tools auditors use — not eyeballed.

  3. Stay compliant going forward

    Templates, training, and an ongoing pipeline for new content — so compliance holds after the first cleanup.

What you get

  • WCAG 2.1 AA remediation

    The exact technical standard the DOJ ADA Title II rule adopts — for documents, PDFs, and digital content.

  • PDF/UA & document accessibility

    Tagged, navigable, screen-reader-ready PDFs — the file type behind most complaints.

  • Section 508 for government

    Federal, state, and local content brought to 508 conformance — purchasable through GSA and NASPO contracts.

  • Braille & alternative formats

    Braille, large print, and audio formats — full effective-communication coverage.

  • Deadline-ready

    Prioritized remediation plans built around the April 2027 / April 2028 ADA Title II dates.

  • Accessibility + language access together

    Multilingual AND accessible — translated vital documents that are also WCAG-conformant, from one vendor.

Organizations facing ADA, Section 508, or WCAG obligations need a path to compliance that does not stall their broader mission. Taika Translations provides document and digital accessibility remediation so your content reaches every reader without creating new legal exposure.

Start with the free accessibility assessment — you’ll know exactly where you stand and what to prioritize before you spend a dollar on remediation. Then work moves through document remediation, Section 508 conformance, braille and alternative formats, and accessible video — with translations and ASL/CART from the same accountable vendor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ADA, Section 508, and WCAG?

ADA is the civil-rights law requiring effective communication and access; Section 508 is the federal regulation requiring federal agencies' electronic and information technology to be accessible; WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the technical standard both are commonly measured against. Taika builds to WCAG 2.1 AA, which aligns with the current DOJ ADA Title II technical standard.

When are the ADA Title II compliance deadlines?

Under the current DOJ rule, public entities serving populations of 50,000 or more must meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 26, 2027; smaller entities and special districts have until April 26, 2028. HHS's Section 504 rule sets similar 2027–2028 dates for federally funded healthcare. Starting remediation now is what makes those dates realistic.

What does the free accessibility assessment include?

Send a sample of your documents or point us at your content, and we'll identify what fails which standard, what remediation involves, and what to prioritize — free and with no obligation. It's the fastest way to turn a vague compliance worry into a concrete plan.

Can you fix our PDFs specifically?

Yes — inaccessible PDFs are the most common failure we remediate. Documents are tagged, structured, and made screen-reader-navigable to PDF/UA and Section 508 standards, and we can set up accessible templates so new documents start compliant.

Do you handle both accessibility and translation?

Yes — that's the point of one vendor: your vital documents can be translated into the languages your community speaks AND made WCAG-conformant in the same workflow, with ASL/CART available for live events.

Can government and school buyers purchase this through a contract?

Yes — Taika is a GSA Schedule holder and NASPO ValuePoint contract holder, so public entities can procure accessibility work through cooperative contracts without running a new solicitation.
