Office of Technology Services (OTS) Guide to Accessible Web Services
Accessibility is a commitment to caring about providing equal access to our services. It is not an item on a project checklist.
What OTS is Doing
The guides on this website are just part of a meaningful change in making Louisiana digital services inclusive and accessible.
