Meet Your Instructor

Hi there! I'm Angie, and I've been helping companies create more accessible physical places and digital spaces for over twenty years. As an ADA consultant and attorney, I understand the challenges of maintaining compliance with accessibility regulations. I'm excited to share my expertise and help you protect your business from potential legal risks, create a more accessible online and physical presence, and maintain that accessibility! I have two goals: 1) to ensure people with disabilities have access to more physical places and digital spaces, and 2) to empower small businesses and content creators by providing them with the information they need to assess and implement accessibility features and feel confident in their compliance. Your accessibility coach, Angie

Student Testimonials

This course is making a difference - you can purchase with confidence!

”
This course was a game-changer for our entire team. Before taking it, I was constantly worried about whether we were handling accommodation requests correctly. The course gave me the confidence to navigate those situations with residents. We've since implemented several of the Quick Guide checklists from the course, and they've streamlined our processes significantly.

Regional Property Manager

”
As someone new to property management, ADA and Fair Housing compliance seemed overwhelming and confusing to me. This course broke everything down into basic, easy steps. Angie's explanation of reasonable accommodations versus modifications finally clicked for me. Last month, I was able to confidently assist a tenant with a request using exactly what I learned here. This course gave me the knowledge and confidence I needed to excel in my role.

Leasing Consultant

”
We enrolled our entire property management staff in this course after a compliance audit revealed some gaps in our knowledge. The course content is current, comprehensive, and directly applicable to our daily operations. What impressed me most was how the course addressed both ADA and Fair Housing building requirements – something other training programs miss. Since completion, our staff feels empowered rather than intimidated by accessibility requirements. I'm making this mandatory training for all new hires.

Director of Compliance

”
I never realized how many ADA considerations applied to my maintenance work until I took this course. The section on accessibility modifications and common property features was very helpful. Now I can spot potential barriers before they become problems and make recommendations to my manager.

”
As a small rental property company, I manage my own rentals. I couldn't afford to make costly compliance mistakes and didn't want to worry about legal problems. This course gave me the knowledge I needed without the expense of hiring a consultant. Angie made the concepts understandable for someone without a legal background. I've already implemented several accessibility features. For the price, this course delivered tremendous value and peace of mind.

FAQS

Question: Does taking one of your online courses (and implementing the suggestions) guarantee my website or business will be 100% accessible? Answer: No. When it comes to accessibility compliance, there is no such thing as "100% accessible" or a "perfect" score. Be wary of any company making such promises. However, if you commit to: 1) learning our content, 2) assessing your physical places and digital spaces by following the downloadable Quick Guides and Checklists, and 3) implementing the suggestions, you will improve your website's accessibility and improve its usability for people with disabilities and likely everyone else who visits. Question: Do you provide refunds for online courses? Answer: No. Due to the instant nature of digital downloads, once a purchase has been completed, it is final. Question: When will your other courses be available to purchase? Answer: We hope to have all courses currently in "Preorder" status ready for "Order Now" status sometime in September 2025.
