Accessibility Statement
Our Commitment
IncluSend LLC is committed to ensuring that Can Do Navigator is accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. We believe that every educator should be able to use our platform to support multilingual learners, regardless of ability.
Standards
Can Do Navigator is designed and developed to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. We also strive to meet the accessibility requirements set forth by Colorado HB21-1110, which requires state and local government websites to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards.
Accessibility Features
We have implemented the following accessibility features throughout Can Do Navigator:
Keyboard Navigation
- Skip-to-content link on every page to bypass repetitive navigation
- Visible focus indicators on all interactive elements
- All primary navigation, forms, and controls are operable via keyboard alone
Screen Reader Support
- Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy
- ARIA roles and labels where native semantics are insufficient (e.g.,
role="switch"witharia-checkedon toggles,aria-labelon icon buttons) - Live regions (
aria-live="polite") for dynamic content updates such as AI chat responses and form status messages - Descriptive alt text on all meaningful images
Color and Visual Design
- Color contrast ratios of 4.5:1 or higher for normal text
- Focus-visible outlines that meet contrast requirements
- Support for
prefers-reduced-motionto disable animations - Information is never conveyed by color alone—status indicators include text labels
Forms
- All form inputs have associated labels via
<label>withhtmlFor - Autocomplete hints on name, email, and other standard fields
- Error messages are clearly identified and associated with their fields
Modals and Dialogs
- Modal dialogs use
role="dialog"andaria-modal="true" - Escape key closes modals
- Close buttons include
aria-label="Close dialog"
Responsive Design
- Content reflows at 320px viewport width without horizontal scrolling
- Content is readable and functional at 200% browser zoom
- Touch targets meet 24x24 CSS pixel minimum size
Known Limitations
We are aware of the following accessibility gaps and are actively working to address them:
- Modal focus trapping: Some modal dialogs (e.g., Add Student, Edit Student, Bulk Invite) do not currently implement focus trapping, which may allow keyboard focus to escape behind the modal. We plan to add focus trap functionality to all modals.
- Animated content: The homepage product demo uses an animated GIF that does not currently have a pause/stop mechanism. We plan to add a play/pause toggle.
- Data table captions: Some admin data tables do not include a
<caption>element for screen reader context. We plan to add descriptive captions. - AI-generated content: The AI Thought Partner generates instructional recommendations in markdown format. While we render this content with semantic HTML, the structure of AI-generated responses may vary and may not always follow an ideal heading hierarchy.
