Accessibility Review
Accessibility for educational resources is a work in progress across the industry. We continually seek solutions to make our products fully accessible and we strive to adhere to established standards for accessibility and usability on each new project. Some of our older products may not be accessible in all areas, and have not been optimized for current accessibility recommendations. Here, we offer the content and approach of these interactives and videos, so that learners are better able to find alternative content and ways of learning.
