Welcome to Aihal Accessibility

Aihal Accessibility is a digital accessibility consultancy operated by Michael Cooper. I am available for contracts where I can provide unique value that will meaningfully support your organization's mission. Some examples of this sort of work:

• Assistance with interpretation and application of accessibility guidance
• Develop strategies to work accessibility by design into organizational cultures
• Identify accommodations for people with lesser-known disabilities, and help bring those accommodations to technologies and standards
• Build mutual understanding between people with disabilities, content designers, and technology developers
• Engage with the Deaf community as an accessibility generalist

Other projects may suit my skill as well. If you think I can help you, please contact me to start a discussion.

I bring 25 years of experience as a leader in the field of digital accessibility, working on how to make content accessible to people with disabilities and bringing those solutions to the world. Through my career I've participated in development of technical solutions, implementation of tools, and writing meaningful guidance. This involves extensive familiarity with technical standards for accessibility, how to interpret them, and how they are produced by standards development organizations. My critical thinking and ability to form insights creates unique value in helping clients address new challenges in the field.
