Accessibility Assessments
Evaluations designed for teaching and learning with digital materials, curricula, and interactive tools.
Get more than just a technical review of conformance.
Instead, get the education-specific insights you need to know about how your product's instructional design, digital pedagogy, and user experience affect its accessibility for teaching and learning.
The most common form of accessibility conformance report (ACR), the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) only gives you the big picture. It doesn’t describe anything about whether it’s the student-facing or educator-facing part of your solution that isn’t conformant. All it provides is “Remarks and Explanations.”
VPATs don’t tell you how prevalent a problem is.
Our ACR format makes it clear and actionable.
When you find an aspect of your product that only partially supports or doesn’t support a criterion, there’s no easy way to convey in a VPAT how that finding affects educators and students using your product. Maybe it affects just an obscure feature, but the rest of your product conforms. Maybe it requires an easy workaround, but only in certain circumstances. But to know that requires expertise in instructional design, digital pedagogy, and the educational context of your product—all things most accessibility vendors lack. Except for us.
An ACR designed for education audiences ensures that your customers can easily understand your level of conformance and what specific workarounds or accommodations are needed in specific circumstances. In the process, we also make recommendations on what changes to make to any functionality that doesn’t conform to standards. Sometimes it’s less costly to redesign a feature than it is to brute force a fix. With us, you get options that make educational sense.
