As organizations strive to comply with accessibility standards like the ADA, Section 508, and IDEA, there is an increased demand for innovative solutions that break down language barriers and provide equitable access for individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) and disabilities. PIVOT (gopivot.me) is here to meet that challenge head-on.
What is PIVOT?
PIVOT is a cutting-edge language access technology that allows organizations to seamlessly integrate accessibility features into their websites. Whether you’re in healthcare, education, or government, PIVOT ensures that your site is accessible, compliant, and inclusive for a diverse audience. It supports 12 major spoken languages and 3 signed languages, including ASL (American Sign Language), LSM (Mexican Sign Language), and LSF (French Sign Language), offering multimodal language access through video, audio, and text.
Accessibility in Healthcare: Ensuring Equal Access for All
The healthcare sector has long faced challenges in providing equal access to patients who are Deaf, hard of hearing, or speak a language other than English. With PIVOT, hospitals, clinics, and telemedicine platforms can now easily provide compliant, multimodal language access solutions that enhance patient communication. Whether it’s a video in ASL explaining a health condition or audio translations for Spanish-speaking patients, PIVOT ensures that all individuals have the information they need to make informed decisions about their health.
Furthermore, PIVOT enables healthcare organizations to meet regulatory requirements such as the DTC Regulations and Section 508, which mandates accessibility for all digital content. Hospitals and healthcare providers using PIVOT will not only improve their service to patients with diverse needs but also position themselves as leaders in accessibility.
Empowering Education: Bridging Gaps for LEP and Deaf Students
For educational institutions, accessibility is critical to creating an inclusive environment for students with disabilities and LEP individuals. PIVOT’s integration into school websites ensures that these institutions are not only meeting the legal requirements of the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) but also fostering an inclusive learning environment for all students.
By providing resources in multiple languages and signed language videos, PIVOT allows students to access materials and engage with content in a way that suits their needs. Whether it’s captioned tutorials, ASL-supported videos for Deaf students, or translations for students who speak other languages, PIVOT’s multimodal capabilities empower educational institutions to deliver equitable learning experiences.
Why PIVOT Is the Future of Digital Accessibility
PIVOT stands out from the competition by combining accessibility and language access in one integrated platform. Unlike traditional translation tools or accessibility-only solutions, PIVOT offers a comprehensive solution that meets the diverse needs of both people with disabilities and those who speak a language other than English. The platform’s ease of integration, with just one line of code, ensures that organizations can quickly implement and benefit from these features without disrupting their existing digital infrastructure.
In sectors like healthcare and education, where inclusivity is paramount, PIVOT offers a game-changing solution that enables organizations to comply with accessibility laws, improve user experiences, and demonstrate their commitment to diversity and inclusion.
