The ATI framework involves a 5-step approach:
Step 1 - Assess Risk Factors
Consider 2 key factors below:
- Impact, the consequences for persons with disabilities and the campus and
- Probability, the likelihood that these consequences will occur.
Step 2 - Assign a Risk Level
- Quantify the risk associated with these consequences
Step 3 - Determine Campus Capacity
- Consider whether the institution has sufficient resources to address these consequences.
Step 4 - Set a Priority Level
- Determine the institutional response to these consequences.
Step 5 - Document the Campus Response
Procurement Accessibility Goals
- Procurement Procedures: An ATI Electronic and Information Technology (E&IT) Procurement Plan, documents, forms, and other materials to support 508 procurements at the campus are created and published.
- Staffing or Role Definition: ATI procurement team is fully staffed with clearly defined roles for processing E&IT procurements.
- Equally Effective Access Plans: Equally Effective Access Plans are created for E&IT products that are not fully 508 compliant.
- Training: All parties involved in E&IT procurement have been trained, and a continual training program is in place.
- Outreach (Communications): All individuals on campus involved in the purchasing of goods are knowledgeable about Section 508 in the context of E&IT procurement.
- Evaluation & Monitoring: Campus has established a continual evaluation process with standard forms and procedures. Feedback from the process along with direction is provided to training, outreach, and other groups involved in E&IT procurements.
