VPAT Service
Today, more than 1.1 billion people worldwide experience vision impairment, prompting regulations that emphasize equitable access across public and private sectors. In the U.S., Section 508 enforces accessible IT procurement for federal agencies. Similar initiatives exist in regions like the EU and the British Commonwealth, requiring product compliance with accessibility laws and standards.
A VPAT evaluates your product’s compliance with these accessibility standards, helping:
-
- Strengthen inclusivity for disabled users.
-
- Enhance user trust and brand reputation.
- Meet procurement requirements for government and enterprise clients.
- Mitigate legal and financial risks.
How the Grackle VPAT Service Works

We begin with a thorough expert analysis of your product’s accessibility features. This audit uncovers your product’s current accessibility status and areas for improvement.
Step 2: VPAT Completion
Using the audit findings, we precisely complete the VPAT to ensure it aligns with recognized accessibility standards.
Step 3: Seamless Delivery
Your finalized VPAT and Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) will be shared with you by your Grackle representative. Share it publicly or make it available on-demand with ease.

A small sample of what our happy customers have to say about GrackleDocs
Altoona Area School District
This product has been a God-send for me as part of my duties includes Staff Development and Accessibility training.
With our district using more and more of the G Suite products, it was important for us to find an easy-to-use accessibility solution. GrackleDocs and GrackleSheets are perfect.
Easy to implement, easy to use and great support videos and support staff that helped lower our learning curve before using the products!
Collaborative.org
Grackle is an amazing suite that solved a big technical gap with our own organization and our member school districts who all use Google Workspace for document management.
As we began offering website accessibility services, we realized there wasn’t a good solution to suggest to our customers on how to manage accessibility within Google documents.
Having to download, convert, and scan through other tools was too cumbersome–until we found Grackle. Despite the pandemic shutdowns, we continue to promote Grackle during our large district tech and superintendent meetings as well as meetings with other collaboratives like ours.
The Simple Web
The Grackle Docs’ interface shows document accessibility errors and guides you through fixing them. The process is very easy allowing you to create an accessible PDF at the click of a button.
After exporting over 250 accessible PDFs in a month with Grackle Docs, I am impressed and relieved to have such a fabulous add-on to Google Docs. The Grackle Docs’ staff respond to support requests promptly, thoroughly and politely.
Paradise Valley Unified School District
Being able to use Grackle on my Chrome device has made it easier & quicker to make our school web page accessible to all who would use it. I do not have to go through a convoluted process to use it. With just opening up the add-on, I can get started modifying the documents I need to upload to our website
