Legal expert Judith Risch discusses the upcoming ADA Title II digital accessibility deadline and provides practical insights for organizations.

With the ADA Title II digital accessibility deadline just days away, we're joined by legal expert Judith Risch to break down what it really means—and what you should be doing right now. Drawing on over 20 years of experience at the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, Judy cuts through the noise on compliance, risk, and common misconceptions. From who Title II applies to, to why accessibility impacts far more organizations than expected, this episode delivers practical, real-world insight. Most importantly, we shift the conversation from panic to progress. You don't need perfection—but you do need a plan.
