AEMing for Access, S3E2: Product Certification Demystified: Building Trust with the VIGS Framework
October 16, 2025 - October 16, 2025
1:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Overview
Join us for a free webinar with accessibility consultant Jan McSorley to learn about the Vendor in Good Standing (VIGS) Framework—a practical, customizable approach to managing relationships with ed tech vendors. Participants will learn how to leverage VIGS to increase vendor accountability for making continuous improvement in accessibility. When vendors take ownership of the accessibility of their products, schools can more effectively meet accessibility compliance requirements and support better outcomes for students with disabilities.
In this 30 minute free webinar, we will cover:
- 100% Accessibility vs. continuous improvement.
- The importance of a collaborative relationship between vendors and schools.
- How consistent data collection protects both the school and the vendor.
- How schools can start small and build as they get systems in place.
