From WebAbility.io:

What benefits does WebAbility.io offer for ADA Compliance? WebAbility.io benefits for ADA Compliance include enhancing website usability for people with disabilities, improving user experience for all visitors, and ensuring legal compliance with ADA standards.

How does the ADA Website Widget from WebAbility.io work? The ADA Website Widget from WebAbility.io integrates seamlessly with your site, providing tools like text-to-speech, color contrast adjustment, and keyboard navigation to make your website ADA compliant.

What is WCAG 2.0 Compliance and how does WebAbility.io adhere to it? WCAG 2.0 Compliance involves following a set of guidelines to make web content accessible. WebAbility.io adheres to these guidelines by offering features that address various accessibility needs.

Overlay WCAG violations:

• Language selector (id="asw-language") does not use lang attributes.
• The buttons do not programmatically convey their state.
• The close button, reset button, and text resize buttons are not keyboard operable.
• The text resize buttons do not change their programmatic state (which are also not appropriate states).

That's about all the free consulting I am giving this product.

While the features offered by the overlay are (like most overlays) unimpressive and redundant at best, the overlay itself introduces WCAG violations. The claims are not guarantees of WCAG conformance, but they certainly toe that line.

And, per an IAAP rep:

None of those orgs are members - having the team write and require them to remove our logo

Which suggests all other logos on the page are also a lie.
