There’s been a lot of talk about VPATs lately—but what are they, and why do they matter?

A VPAT isn’t a certificate or a stamp of approval. It’s a structured report that explains how a digital product measures up against accessibility standards. At first glance, the tables and technical language can feel overwhelming, but the purpose is simple: to communicate honestly. A VPAT shows what works, where there are gaps, and how improvements are planned.

In our latest blog, we break down what goes into a VPAT, who typically needs one, and why these reports have become so important for organizations.

Screen readers turn structure into speech for people who are blind or have low vision. When headings, labels, and focus make sense, the experience does too. Small choices—clear control names, honest alt text, predictable focus—translate into fewer detours for NVDA/VoiceOver users and a clearer, more predictable path through your content. For website owners, it means steadier releases, fewer last-minute fire drills, and less legal noise.
