Learn about CT accessibility

Accessibility is for everyone

The internet should work for everyone regardless of their abilities. But right now, many websites have barriers that make it hard for people with disabilities to use them. We’re here to change that!

At the State of Connecticut we want to help agencies, businesses, schools, and creators make their websites easy for everyone to use. That includes people with temporary or permanent vision, hearing, mobility, and cognitive disabilities.

Improving accessibility isn’t just the right thing to do. It also helps you reach more people, follow legal guidelines, and create a better experience for all.
