AI is making hiring decisions, managing performance, and processing accommodations at a speed no compliance team can monitor. Alterita provides global employers with the solutions to implement AI without screening out the people they need.
94% of leaders face AI-critical skill shortages today. 84% haven't redesigned a single job around AI. People with disabilities are 2.3 times more likely to be unemployed — a gap unchanged for a decade.
The EU AI Act classifies AI used in hiring, screening, and performance monitoring as high-risk. Compliance deadline: August 2, 2026. Fines up to €35M or 7% of global turnover.
Every existing AI compliance program ignores disability inclusion. Every existing disability program ignores AI. Alterita is the only one covering both.
Why this matters now
The EU AI Act is already in force. High-risk AI system obligations take effect August 2026. Most global employers are unprepared on both fronts — AI governance and disability inclusion — simultaneously.
AI hiring tools already in use at scale
Disability employment gap unchanged for 10+ years
Regulatory fines now existential in scale
No single solution has addressed both — until now

Clockwise from top: EU AI Act (High-Risk AI hiring, 2026), ADA (US Employment Protections), UK Equality Act (Protected Traits, Adjustments), Accessible Canada Act (Federal Accessibility), ILO & OECD Research (Global Disability Data), and WEF, McKinsey & Deloitte (AI Workforce Transformation). This diagram illustrates how Alterita integrates compliance and disability inclusion across global regulatory frameworks.
The Alterita Accessible AI Certification synthesizes all of these frameworks into one actionable compliance and inclusion program — the only one of its kind.

25 years in disability employment and accommodation inside Fortune 500 operations — Toyota, Foot Locker, Stanley Black & Decker, ManpowerGroup.
I scaled ManpowerGroup's disability inclusion program from four metro areas to a national offering. At the National Organization on Disability, I transformed the Disability Employment Tracker into a workforce analytics platform used by 500+ companies.
I saw AI changing every part of the employment lifecycle and became an AI Certified Consultant — because the companies I work with needed someone who understood both disability inclusion and where AI was taking them.
I also run Inclusion Without Illusion — consulting and professional development for companies serious about disability inclusion.
