About A11y Equitas
A11y Equitas = accessibility as equity. A11y Equitas is an open AI model + practical resource. It is built for neurodivergent (ND) communities missed by mainstream accessibility work inside agencies, nonprofits, and schools.
Purpose
For neurodivergent communities under-served by accessibility programs at agencies, nonprofits, and schools. ND needs (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, attention/memory differences, sensory processing) are routinely missed by accessibility audits. These audits focus on screen-reader compatibility and physical-access analogues.
Aim
An open LLM that explains and applies WCAG 2.2 AAA criteria accurately. It is runnable locally with no cloud dependency.
Deliberate ND bias. Helping ND users by default also covers every ADA category — no one is excluded.
Live, accessible components — accordions, tabs, dropdowns, forms — that copy-paste into Next.js or any HTML project.
Practical guides for ND people at work or in school — and for colleagues, managers, teachers, and staff who support them.
Help schools reach out to ND adults and ND-led groups who lived the gap — not just compliance consultants. See Schools →
Agencies and schools should treat accessibility as a way to help people who need accommodations become more productive. They should not treat it as just a legal box-ticking exercise.
Open source & local-first
The model is published on HuggingFace and runnable locally via Ollama. No cloud dependency. No data leakage. MIT-licensed with a transparency addendum.
