Accessibility at Skill Struck

Computer science and AI for every student

Every student deserves the chance to learn computer science and AI, including students with disabilities. We design, build and test Skill Struck so students and teachers can use it fully with the tools they rely on, from screen readers to keyboard-only navigation.

Our commitment

Accessibility is part of how we build

Skill Struck's mission is equity in computer science education, and that includes students with disabilities. We build our learning platforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 at Level AA, document our conformance in an independently evaluated VPAT, and treat any barrier a student or teacher reports as a bug to fix.

Built to the standard

We build with standard HTML, logical headings, labeled controls, full keyboard access and WCAG AA color contrast, so lessons and coding tools work with screen readers and voice control.

Independently tested

An outside accessibility specialist tested our platforms by hand and with automated tools, using the NVDA screen reader, Dragon voice control, keyboard-only navigation and color contrast analyzers.

Checked as we build

Automated accessibility tests run in development for our student and teacher platforms. They help catch problems like unlabeled buttons, form labels that aren't tied to their fields, and images without alt text before they reach students.

Compliance

The standards we meet

Our learning platforms are evaluated against the accessibility standards schools and public agencies use to judge digital tools.

Levels A and AA

WCAG 2.0

Our learning platforms conform to the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 at Levels A and AA, the international standard for accessible web content (also published as ISO/IEC 40500). Our latest review also covered WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 at Level AA.

Revised standards

Section 508

We meet the Revised Section 508 Standards for information and communication technology, which build on WCAG 2.0 Level AA. Our VPAT is the Revised Section 508 Edition.

Equal access

ADA

Accessible design helps schools give students with disabilities equal access to computer science under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Our VPAT review included the ADA Title III regulations.

Accessibility documentation

Questions

Accessibility FAQ

Is Skill Struck WCAG compliant?

Yes. Skill Struck's learning platforms conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 at Levels A and AA. Our VPAT, dated March 10, 2025, documents the independent review, which also covered WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 at Level AA.

Where can I get Skill Struck's VPAT?

Download it from this page. It's an Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT® 2.5 Rev, Revised Section 508 Edition) covering the Educator Portal, Launch Pad (K–5), Voyage (6–12), Robotics (K–12) and Type Station (K–10). If you need it in another format, email support@skillstruck.com.

Does Skill Struck work with screen readers?

Yes. Our platforms were tested with the NVDA screen reader, Dragon voice control and keyboard-only navigation, along with automated tools such as axe DevTools and WAVE. Lessons and tools use standard HTML, logical headings and labeled controls, so assistive technology can read and operate them.

How do students turn on the accessibility tools?

In Voyage and the Educator Portal, open Settings. In Launch Pad, open your profile. Turn on Accessibility Features and save, then select the accessibility button or press Alt+A to pick a profile or individual adjustments.

What about content from other companies?

Some lessons include videos or tools from other providers. Those have their own accessibility policies and aren't covered by our VPAT. If one gets in a student's way, please tell us.
