Accessibility Statement
Standards We Aim For
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). WCAG explains how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.
We also design with the principles of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in mind, and — where the Portal is used in connection with public entities — the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, which incorporates WCAG by reference.
For users in the European Union, we design with awareness of the European Accessibility Act (EAA), which applies to digital services offered in EU member states.
Current Conformance Status
The Portal partially conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partial conformance means that some content or interactive components may not yet fully meet every success criterion. We treat accessibility as an ongoing commitment and prioritize fixes that affect a user's ability to complete an activity or navigate the Portal.
Measures We Take
Accessibility is built into our development process, not added afterwards. Specific measures include:
- Text alternatives provided for non-text content, including activity icons and decorative images marked aria-hidden="true"
- Color contrast ratios targeting WCAG AAA (≥ 7:1) for body text and WCAG AA (≥ 4.5:1) for UI components — verified against the design token palette
- Meaning never conveyed by color alone — icons, labels, and text always accompany color-coded states
- Full keyboard navigation for all interactive controls, including modals, language selectors, grade choosers, and activity filters
- aria-label, aria-labelledby, aria-expanded, aria-modal, and role attributes applied to all interactive elements, hamburger menus, and modal dialogs
- Page language set programmatically via <html lang="..."> — served dynamically for all four languages (EN / ES / FR / DE)
- Skip-to-main-content link on every page
- Touch targets sized to a minimum of 44 × 44 px for Grade 3–6 surfaces and 56 × 56 px for PreK–2 surfaces, consistent with WCAG 2.5.5 and pediatric fine-motor development guidelines
- prefers-reduced-motion media query respected — animations and transitions disabled when the user has requested reduced motion
- Consistent, predictable navigation structure across mobile and desktop viewports
- Font choices (Fredoka for headings, Lexend for body text) selected for reading clarity — Lexend is specifically designed to reduce visual stress for developing and struggling readers
- All UI strings served through an internationalisation layer — no hard-coded English text in templates
Designing for Children
Because our primary users are young children, we apply an additional layer of consideration beyond standard WCAG criteria:
- Reading level. Activity instructions use simple, direct language. Grade-appropriate vocabulary is a pedagogical requirement, not just an accessibility feature.
- Type scale. Body text is 20 px minimum on PreK–2 surfaces (ages 4–7) and 16 px minimum on Grade 3–6 surfaces — larger than typical WCAG minimums because emergent readers require greater character size during active decoding.
- Touch targets. Sized above WCAG minimums and calibrated to age-band fine-motor development (PreK–K: 56 × 56 px minimum; Grade 1–3: 48 × 48 px; Grade 4–6: 44 × 44 px).
- Forgiving interactions. Activities allow multiple attempts and do not penalise slow response times, which benefits children with motor, processing, or attention differences.
- Reduced motion. Animation is restrained by default and fully disabled when the system preference is set — relevant for children with photosensitive conditions.
Known Limitations
We are committed to transparency about areas we are still improving. The following limitations are known as of this statement's date:
No specific limitations have been identified through our current self-evaluation. A formal WCAG 2.1 AA audit will be conducted before our next major release, and this section will be updated with any findings. If you encounter a barrier not listed here, please report it using the contact information in Section 8 — we treat accessibility reports as high priority.
Feedback and Help
If you encounter an accessibility barrier, or if you need content in a different format, please tell us. We can often help directly, and your report helps us improve for everyone.
What to include in your report
- The page or activity where the barrier occurred
- The device type and browser you were using
- The assistive technology you were using, if any (e.g., screen reader name and version)
- A brief description of what you were trying to do and what happened instead

We aim to acknowledge accessibility reports within two business days and respond with next steps.
Assessment and Review
We assess the accessibility of the Portal through the following approaches:
- Self-evaluation — ongoing, as part of every development session
- Automated testing — using browser-based accessibility auditing tools
- Manual testing — keyboard-only navigation and screen-reader spot checks
This statement was prepared on May 29, 2026 and will be reviewed and updated at least annually, or sooner if a formal audit is completed or a significant product change is made.
