What Accessology does

Accessology is a privately held, DBE-certified professional services firm headquartered in McKinney, Texas, that provides consulting services enabling organizations to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The firm serves primarily Title II public-sector entities — state and local governments, municipalities, and public agencies — along with Title III private-sector places of public accommodation and educational institutions (K-12 schools and universities). It also offers ADA-related expert witness services for litigation. The firm was founded circa 1990 by Kristi J Avalos, who continues as Founder, President, and CEO and brings 40+ years of accessibility experience.

The firm's offering is organized around five integrated service lines: ADA Compliance & Transition Plans, Plan Reviews & Facility Inspections (including Texas-specific Registered Accessibility Specialist work for TDLR), Facility Assessments (using a proprietary Prioritized Remediation Assessment System that rates barriers as High, Medium, or Low with photos and cost estimates), free educational Roundtables, and modular Training courses ranging from 1-hour sessions to 2-day programs across more than a dozen ADA topics. Delivery is direct via the firm's own staff and contractors; the firm is not a software product company and no proprietary technology platform is disclosed.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue: fixed-fee facility assessments and transition plan development for government clients, plus unit-priced training ($200 per attendee for a 4-hour virtual session is publicly disclosed). The firm has accumulated five government certifications — DBE, HUB, WBENC, WOSB, and Texas minority-owned enterprise — that grant access to set-aside and preference-based public-sector procurement. Named public customers include the City of Gallatin (TN), City of Edmond (OK), Town of Gilbert (AZ), and Town of Addison (TX). The firm reports serving clients across 24+ U.S. states, with go-to-market executed through direct consultation requests, partner-hosted virtual training (notably with the North Central Texas Council of Governments), and free roundtables that function as a lead-generation channel.
