What our crawl found on das.edu
Counts from our September 25, 2026 crawl, which visited 247 pages. Our crawler found 104 public documents on das.edu — an estimated 1,452 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.

No single category dominates this inventory — the largest bucket is uncategorized material at 51% — so a short sampling pass is the fastest way to establish remediation priorities.

Checked sample
14 of 50 passed(28%)
- Passed basic checks: 14
- Did not pass: 36
The checked files are mixed: some pass the basics and some don't. Fixing the templates you publish from now, while working through older files in batches, usually saves the most time.
The rate covers the 50 files we checked, not all 104 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.
Scanned share
2% scanned
Most of the collection is digital-native text, which keeps remediation at the lighter end: tagging and structure work rather than OCR.
Scanned images need text recognition (OCR) before they can be tagged.
Forms are a small part of this inventory (4%), but each one needs labeled fields and a working tab order before someone using a screen reader can fill it in.

Show all 49 filesShow fewer
1 more checked file is counted above but not linked here: it is on another site or its name looks like a personal record.
What each check looks for
- Tagged structure
- The file has a tag tree, so assistive technology can tell headings, lists and paragraphs apart.
- Document language
- The file declares its language, so screen readers pronounce it correctly.
- Document title
- The file has a document title, shown instead of the file name.
- Image alt text
- Every image in a tagged file carries alternative text, or the file has no untagged images.
- Form field labels
- Every fillable form field has a label a screen reader can announce.
How we measured this
1.Crawl
We start at the organization's website and follow its sitemaps and links on the same site. We respect robots.txt and crawl delays, and skip login areas.
2.Classify
Each document is sorted by file format and, from its link text and file name, into a category such as forms or agendas. Page counts are estimated, often without downloading the whole file.
3.Check a sample
We open up to 50 PDFs and run basic machine checks: tags, document title, language, image alt text and form-field labels.
4.Publish only with evidence
Figures appear only when a crawl finds at least 25 documents and checks at least 20 of them.
Limits of this method
- We only see public pages we can reach through links or sitemaps. Documents behind logins or on other services may be missed.
- Crawls stop at page, document and time limits. When one is hit, the counts are minimums.
- Categories and page counts are estimates from links, file names and file metadata.
- Machine checks can't judge reading order, alt text quality or table structure. Passing them is not WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
- Figures describe the site on the crawl date, not today.
This page's evidence
- Crawled September 25, 2026: we fetched 247 pages from https://www.das.edu/ and found 104 documents.
- The pass rate comes from machine checks on 50 of those documents, not from checking every file.
- Changelog: September 25, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.

With 196 days left, start with the documents people use most and fix the rest in batches.
Where Downey Adult School should start
Start with what current students need: syllabi, admissions, registration and financial aid forms.
Students need these files to enroll, get financial aid and complete their courses.
At this size several departments publish documents, so name one owner per department and track progress in one place.
Usually owned by disability services, IT accessibility staff and academic departments.

What DocoMatic does
- Finds the PDF, Word, PowerPoint and Excel files on your website and estimates the backlog.
- Fixes documents at three levels, from basic tagging to complex forms.
- Checks every fixed file, with veraPDF PDF/UA-1 validation from Level 2 up.
- Human review: turn it on when you request a fix, or arrange it with our team.
- Monitors your site so new documents don't rebuild the backlog.

Frequently asked questions
When is Downey Adult School's ADA Title II deadline?
April 26, 2027. Downey Adult School is in the 2027 cohort under the Department of Justice's rule on web and mobile accessibility for state and local governments, with compliance dates as set by the Department's interim final rule of April 20, 2026 (91 FR 20902).
How was Downey Adult School's deadline set?
For an independent school district the rule uses the Census Bureau's Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates for the district, not its enrollment. That figure is 121,210 (Downey Unified School District, 2024 Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates), at or above 50,000, so the earlier compliance date applies.
How many public documents does Downey Adult School have?
Our crawl on September 25, 2026 fetched 247 pages from https://www.das.edu/ and found 104 documents, an estimated 1,452 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.
How many of Downey Adult School's documents pass accessibility checks?
14 of the 50 files we checked passed basic machine checks (28%). That is a sample of the 104 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
How much would it cost to fix Downey Adult School's documents?
Our directional estimate is $643 to $965 with DocoMatic: about 3,216 credits for 1,452 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.
Which documents should Downey Adult School fix first?
Start with what current students need: syllabi, admissions, registration and financial aid forms.
Do older PDFs have to be made accessible too?
Not all of them. Documents already posted before the compliance date are excepted unless they are currently used to apply for, gain access to, or participate in the organization's services, programs or activities (28 CFR 35.201(b)). Genuinely archived content is excepted too, but only while it is kept solely for reference, research or recordkeeping, sits in a clearly identified archive area and is not changed. Everything published from the compliance date on is covered, and so is any older file people still use to reach a service.
