Step 1 · Plan · Free, the whole tool
Don’t stare at a blank template.
A guided process that drafts your Title II compliance plan with you, chapter by chapter. Free, the whole tool.
The Compliance Roadmap Tool is an interactive wizard for higher ed accessibility directors, ADA coordinators, and disability services leads. Answer questions about your institution, get an AI-drafted executive summary and budget narrative, see a readiness score, and export an accessible PDF you can hand to your VP or board. Share it with the colleagues who have to sign off. Free with a verified account, and there is no premium tier. Built by an educator who spent 21 years inside higher ed.
What’s inside the tool
A guided planning process that produces a real institutional document, not a static template.
Step-by-step guided wizard
Nine chapters with smart defaults, examples, and field-level help text. Auto-saved as you go. The structure does the heavy lifting, so you never start from a blank page.
Multi-user collaboration
Invite your IT director, web manager, and disability services lead by email. Invitations resolve when they sign up, and every chapter takes comments, so the VP and the committee read the same plan you do.
AI-drafted narrative sections
Claude drafts your executive summary, scope statement, and budget justification from your inputs. Review, edit, or regenerate each one in a click. It saves the slowest part of plan-writing.
Readiness dashboard
Compliance readiness score (0 to 100), section-by-section completion donut, and risk indicators. Show leadership your Title II status at a glance.
Accessible PDF export
Generate an institutional-grade PDF ready for your VP or board. WCAG 2.2 AA compliant: semantic tagging, proper heading hierarchy, real document structure.
Budget worksheet
Pre-populated line items for audits, training, document remediation, and monitoring. The worksheet doubles as the starting point for your FY28 budget request.
Where the Roadmap Tool fits
Each chapter points to a next step, and each step has a free tool or course.
✓ Plan · Assess
- Plan: this tool. Build your full Title II compliance plan, free.
- Assess: the AI Website Audit Tool. Chapter 2 surfaces the need, and the free single-page scan feeds real findings back into your plan.
✓ Train · Remediate
- Train: the WCAG 2.2 courses. Chapter 5’s role matrix tells you who needs which course, and every course is free with an account.

Walk through it with me.
I’m Brooks Winchell, founder of ES Designs and the builder of the Roadmap Tool. I want the tool to match the real work, so I’m glad to walk accessibility directors, ADA coordinators, and disability services leads through it. Thirty minutes: screen share, build a draft plan together, and tell me what’s missing.
