- Partially Supports — some functionality meets the criterion; exceptions noted.
- Not Applicable — the criterion does not apply to the product.
- Not Yet Evaluated — formal verification is still in progress.
Summary of current status
Major accessibility barriers have been remediated: full keyboard operability (student and teacher), an accessible alternate game mode so non-visual users complete the same standards-based activities, keyboard- and screen-reader-accessible drag-and-drop, live-region status announcements, accessible dialogs, and responsive reflow to 320 px / 400% zoom with wide tables scrolling within their own region. Open items: screen-reader verification of the Trade Players and statistics screens is in progress, and a third-party audit and signed ACR are pending.
WCAG 2.1 — Level A
| Criterion | Conformance | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| 1.1.1 Non-text Content | Partially Supports | Images have text alternatives; decorative images hidden. The interactive canvas game is covered by an accessible alternate game mode. Some report charts use a third-party library. |
| 1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded) | Supports | Captions on all training/tutorial videos. |
| 1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative | Supports | Tutorial-video narration is self-describing — it names the on-screen controls/icons and explains every action and formula, so the spoken track conveys the visual content (no separate audio-description track needed). Reviewed across all 12 tutorial-video captions. |
| 1.3.1 Info and Relationships | Supports | Semantic headings, labels, data-table headers, ARIA roles. (Trade Players / statistics: verification in progress.) |
| 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence | Supports | |
| 1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics | Supports | Instructions do not rely on shape/location/color alone. |
| 1.4.1 Use of Color | Supports | Mastery and status use color and text/labels. |
| 2.1.1 Keyboard | Supports | Full keyboard operability (QA-tested), including game activities and drag-and-drop. |
| 2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap | Supports | Dialogs trap and restore focus; Esc closes. |
| 2.2.1 Timing Adjustable | Partially Supports | Activities are self-paced; a 60-minute session timeout exists with re-authentication. |
| 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks | Supports | “Skip to main content” link. |
| 2.4.2 Page Titled | Supports | Descriptive page titles. |
| 2.4.3 Focus Order | Supports | Logical order; managed in dialogs. |
| 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) | Supports | |
| 2.5.1 Pointer Gestures | Supports | Drag-and-drop has a keyboard alternative. |
| 3.1.1 Language of Page | Supports | lang defined. |
| 3.2.1 On Focus / 3.2.2 On Input | Supports | No unexpected context changes. |
| 3.3.1 Error Identification | Supports | Form errors identified in text. |
| 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions | Supports | |
| 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value | Supports | ARIA roles/states on dialogs and custom controls. (Trade Players / statistics: verification in progress.) |
WCAG 2.1 — Level AA
| Criterion | Conformance | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| 1.2.5 Audio Description (Prerecorded) | Partially Supports | Captions provided; audio description not yet provided. |
| 1.3.4 Orientation | Supports | Portrait and landscape. |
| 1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose | Partially Supports | Programmatic autocomplete not yet on all fields. |

| 1.4.4 Resize Text | Supports | Usable at 200% text zoom without loss. |
| 1.4.5 Images of Text | Supports | Real text used. |
| 1.4.10 Reflow | Supports | Reflows to one column at 320 px / 400% without 2-D scrolling; wide data tables scroll within their own region (remediated 2026). |
| 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast | Partially Supports | UI/graphical contrast largely reviewed; full verification ongoing. |
| 1.4.12 Text Spacing | Partially Supports | No loss observed in tested areas; full verification ongoing. |

| 4.1.3 Status Messages | Supports | Live regions announce scores, guidance, and completion. |
Design notes
- Accessible game mode (conforming alternate version). The interactive game uses HTML canvas, which is not directly accessible; an equivalent, screen-reader-friendly mode lets non-visual students complete the same math activities and be scored on the same standards. Scoring was adjusted so an activity available only in the visual mode does not reduce an accessible-mode student’s standard score.
- Data tables. Wide report tables scroll horizontally within their own container — permitted for data tables under WCAG 1.4.10 — rather than forcing the whole page to scroll.
Known exceptions (scoped)
- Trade Players screen — screen-reader verification and refinement in progress.
- Statistics screens — screen-reader verification and refinement in progress.
- Tutorial-video audio description — captions provided; audio description not yet added.
- Third-party components — Google Charts, Stripe, YouTube, and Baseball-Reference carry their own accessibility characteristics.
Next steps to finalize
- Independent third-party audit against WCAG 2.1 AA (and ideally 2.2 AA).
- Screen-reader QA by a blind/low-vision tester for the Trade Players and statistics screens, plus a full NVDA / JAWS / VoiceOver pass.
- Publish the finalized VPAT/ACR in the official ITI template and add tutorial-video audio descriptions.
