Why LC Education Consulting
We Don't Just Know the Standards. We Know the Students.
Most accessibility consultants come from a technology background. Laura Cantagallo's experience is rooted in special education and assistive technology.
With 16 years of experience supporting students with diverse learning and access needs, Laura brings a perspective that many accessibility consultants do not. She has worked directly with students who use screen readers, AAC devices, and other assistive technologies, giving her a strong understanding of how digital barriers affect real people in real settings.
What sets LC Education Consulting apart is a combination of educational experience, assistive technology expertise, and digital accessibility knowledge grounded in real-world practice.

What Clients Have to Say
“ACP (American College of Physicians) worked with Laura to conduct an accessibility review of our cross-platform digital product, ACP MKSAP, not only to comply with customer requests for a VPAT, but to better serve our users. She met with our team, took the time to understand our product, and then conducted the full review using a combination of automated and manual testing, including the use of multiple different screen readers. Her turnaround time was prompt and the results were well organized into a prioritized to-do list that allowed our team to tackle the most important problems first. We plan to continue working with Laura as we make further improvements to our software or add new features, and we would enthusiastically recommend her to other organizations with similar needs.”
