Hopefully this doesn’t get taken down. I am a FULL TIME ACCESSIBILITY PROFESSIONAL. I am CPACC-certified and the whole nine yards.

I work for a state agency. We requested access for staff to CCA (Colour Contrast Analyser) and DaltonLens Colorblindness Simulator. Both were denied due to the security team citing NIST Cybersecurity Framework. I’ve been asked to help with an appeal.

We’re going to boost our business justification. But does anyone have alternate tools they’d recommend that may stand a better chance of being approved?

I’m creating this list with the intended audience being accessibility professionals, to help prioritize issues across thousands of pages. Here’s what I have; looking for additional input:

1. 1.1.1 Non-text content
2. 1.3.1 Info & relations
3. 1.3.2 Meaningful sequence
4. 1.3.3 Sensory characteristics
5. 2.4.4 Link purpose in context
6. 2.4.6 Headings & labels
7. 3.3.1 Info errors
8. 3.3.2 Labels or instructions
9. 4.1.2 Name, role, value
10. 4.1.3 Status messages

I’ve been with Winona for a few years, quite happily and within the last 3 months they’ve paused my prescription for estrogen patch three times without explanation.

I can’t get a hold of anyone over there. I’ve been without my prescription for going on two weeks and am calling around. Open to suggestions.

ETA: Forgot to add I keep asking if this is due to the shortage and should I switch formulations and they won’t answer. Just “Oops! We didn’t notice you were out.”
