Accessibility

Last reviewed 22 October 2026

We want every family to be able to use Homeschool Corral, including parents and children who use a keyboard, a screen reader, a phone, or settings that reduce motion. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA.

How we test

• An automated check (axe-core) of the homepage, My Homeschool, Transcripts, the Scholarship Finder, the Worksheet Maker, the state pages and the learning tools, on a desktop screen and a phone-sized screen.
• Moving through the main pages with the Tab key to make sure the focus is always visible.
• Checking that phone-sized pages don’t scroll sideways.

What we fixed in this review

• Text colors that were too faint against their backgrounds, in Transcripts, the Scholarship Finder, the Worksheet Maker and several learning tools.
• A clear focus outline on every link and button, including the main navigation.
• Larger tap areas for navigation and footer links on phones.
• Labels and roles for the Worksheet Maker’s list of worksheet kinds and the learning tools’ “Who’s learning?” screen.

Already in place

• If your device asks for reduced motion, the site’s animations are turned off.
• Every graph in SAT Prep has a text name and a description in words (axes, scales and the plotted values or shape), under “Describe the figure in words” below the figure, so a student who can’t see it gets the same information. The description never gives away the answer.
• Calculator and form errors are shown next to the field that needs fixing and announced to screen readers.
• The Worksheet Maker can print in black and white.

What we know still needs work

• We have not yet tested every learning tool screen with a screen reader from start to finish. The SAT Prep graph descriptions have passed automated checks but have not yet been tried by a screen-reader user answering the questions.
• Some interactive activities in the learning tools, such as the math game’s drag-and-drop counting, have not yet been fully checked with a keyboard alone.
