The short version
Scolavo (“we”, “us”) is committed to making learning usable by everyone, including people who use assistive technology. We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA, we build with accessibility in mind as we go, and we want to hear when we fall short. This statement describes the standard we hold ourselves to, the measures we take, what we know still needs work, and how to reach us.
Our standard: WCAG 2.2 AA
We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA as our target across the website, the interactive Learn decks, and the Watch video experience. WCAG is organized around content being perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust, and AA is the level commonly referenced by schools and public bodies.
ADA Title II & Section 508
Many of our users are public schools and districts. We’re aware that under ADA Title II, state and local government entities (including public schools) are expected to make web content and mobile apps conform to WCAG 2.1 AA, and that federal agencies and their vendors follow Section 508, which also points to WCAG. We design Scolavo to help these institutions meet their own obligations, and we target the more recent WCAG 2.2 AA so our work stays current.
What we do
Accessibility is part of how we build, not a bolt-on. Ongoing measures include:
- Semantic HTML — meaningful headings, landmarks, lists, and labels so screen readers can convey structure.
- Keyboard navigation — all interactive controls are reachable and operable without a mouse, with a visible focus indicator.
- Color & contrast — text and essential UI meet AA contrast ratios, in both light and dark themes.
- Captions & transcripts — captions for lesson videos and transcripts for narrated content.
- Reduced motion — we respect the operating system’s “reduce motion” setting and tone down non-essential animation.
- Text & zoom — layouts reflow and remain usable when text is enlarged or the page is zoomed.
- Images & media — meaningful images carry text alternatives; decorative ones are hidden from assistive tech.
Known limitations
We’re honest about where we’re not there yet. Some interactive Learn activities and certain older lesson videos may not fully meet every WCAG 2.2 AA criterion (for example, complete captions or full keyboard support in a few complex widgets). We’re actively working through these, and the items above reflect our intended baseline rather than a finished audit. If something blocks you, please tell us (see below) and we’ll prioritize a fix or provide an alternative.
VPAT / ACR for schools
Schools and districts often need accessibility documentation for procurement. A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) / Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) is available to schools on request, summarizing how Scolavo measures against WCAG 2.2 AA and Section 508. Email us using the address below and tell us which plan or product area you’re evaluating.
Report an issue
If you run into an accessibility barrier, or need content in a different format, contact us at accessibility@scolavo.com. Please describe the page or lesson, what you were trying to do, and the assistive technology, browser, and device you’re using — it helps us reproduce and fix the problem quickly. We aim to acknowledge reports promptly and to work with you on an interim solution where a fix will take time. See also our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
