- Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act
- Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Structured Content

Known Limitations
We are honest about areas where we have not yet achieved full conformance. The following limitations are known and are being addressed:
Formal WCAG Audit Pending
A comprehensive WCAG 2.1 AA audit has not yet been completed. A formal audit is planned for June 2026. Results and a VPAT will be published after completion.
Interactive Game Elements
Some interactive game elements (matching games, drag-and-drop activities) may have limited keyboard accessibility. We are working to ensure all game modes have full keyboard alternatives.
Color Contrast
While dark mode provides generally high contrast, color contrast ratios have not been formally tested against WCAG 1.4.3 on all pages. This will be part of the June 2026 audit.
Screen Reader Testing
Screen reader compatibility testing with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver is ongoing. Some complex interactive components may not provide an optimal screen reader experience yet.
