Accessibility frameworks and models

Structured models for planning accessibility work: where your organisation sits today, what changes next, and how capability compounds over time.

Quick answer

What accessibility frameworks does ExceedAbility publish?

Three, and each answers a different planning question. The SPA Framework positions accessibility as the third pillar of digital compliance alongside security and privacy, which is how it gets funded. The Accessibility Continuum maps where an organisation sits on the path from inaccessible to fully conformant, and what changes next. The Accessibility Knowledge Growth Cycle covers how capability is built and held across teams over time. All three are free to use and cite.

Accessibility frameworks and models

Frameworks are for planning, not fixing. Use these when you need to explain accessibility to an executive, decide what to fund next, or show how a programme of work compounds across people, process and product.

From framework to programme

A framework shows the shape of the work. Our organisational uplift programmes deliver it, scoped against the W3C Accessibility Maturity Model with named consultants and measurable outcomes.
