Accessibility Statement

Last updated: September 8, 2026

Our commitment

We want learners and educators with disabilities to be able to use ForTheWards. We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as a target for improving the platform. We do not currently claim full conformance.

Accessibility review

In September 2026, we conducted an internal review of public pages and selected learner and faculty workflows. This review included automated checks and checks of keyboard navigation, text contrast, form labels, and layouts at smaller screen sizes and with enlarged text.

We improved contrast, keyboard navigation, form descriptions, and page structure. The homepage video has selectable English captions and a transcript describing key visuals. These checks help us find and fix barriers. They do not establish that every page, workflow, browser, or assistive technology is fully supported. We have not completed an independent conformance evaluation.

Current limitations

  • Some simulations require listening and speaking, and oral presentations require microphone input. Text transcripts do not provide an equivalent way to complete every activity. If these requirements create a barrier, contact us and your program to discuss your needs before starting an assignment.
  • Compatibility with screen readers, voice control, and other assistive technologies has not been comprehensively tested.
  • Some media and third-party interfaces may have accessibility limitations. Contact us if you need help accessing specific content.

Feedback and assistance

If you encounter a barrier, tell us which page or activity you were using, what you were trying to do, and the browser or assistive technology involved. We can discuss the issue and possible ways to help.
