Impact:
Several factors contribute to assessing the impact of ICT products or service(s) acquisitions. Each of these factors are outlined below; along with sample questions for gauging the relevance of those factors.
Will there be a barrier?
- If non-ATI compliance purchase is processed, will persons with disabilities be denied access to a university program or service?
- If non-ATI compliance purchase is processed, will persons with disabilities receive erroneous, incomplete, or untimely information?
Is it a critical barrier?
- Does this ICT acquisition relate to an essential academic or administrative function?
- Does the lack of non ATI compliant purchase contribute to ineffective operations (i.e. would the cost/complexity of providing accommodations be burdensome or disruptive)?
What are the risks associated with the barrier?
- Does the lack of this non ATI compliant purchase increase the risk of the University being exposed legal ramifications?
- Has the University received complaints from persons with disabilities due to lack of meeting ATI Section 508 compliance mandates?
Are there workarounds for the barrier until resolved?
- Are there accessible ICT products, alternative ICT products, or workarounds to provide the related academic or administrative function?
Probability
- How many people would be impacted by a non ATI compliant purchase?
- Would members of the public be impacted by the lack of this activity or process?
- Will the lack of these actions create barriers that reoccur or persist over time?
- Is the lack of non ATI compliant purchases likely to impact programs or services with a primary audience of persons with disabilities?
