LearnPath Accessibility Statement

Last updated: October 2, 2026

Bluebird Tutor, LLC wants LearnPath to be usable by every student and teacher, including people who use screen readers, keyboards instead of a mouse, magnification, or other assistive technology. This statement says honestly where we are, not where we would like to be.

Our target

We are working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, the standard the ADA Title II web rule and most school districts reference (Section 508 incorporates WCAG 2.0 Level AA, which 2.1 includes).

We have not yet completed a formal WCAG audit, and we do not yet have a VPAT. Anything below described as "in place" reflects how the software is built today; it has not been independently verified. We would rather say that plainly than overstate it to a reviewer.

What is in place today

• Semantic HTML with a declared page language, so screen readers announce content in English and read headings, lists, and tables as structure rather than as text.
• Keyboard operation. Interactive controls are focusable, key flows respond to keyboard input, and focused controls show a visible focus ring.
• Labels on icon-only controls and alternative text on images, including figures that accompany questions and passages.
• Accessible mathematics. Math is rendered with KaTeX, which outputs MathML alongside the visual rendering, so screen readers can read expressions rather than encountering an image.
• Responsive layout that reflows down to phone width (375px) without horizontal scrolling, which also supports browser zoom and magnification.
• No time limits imposed by the platform itself. Practice is untimed. Where a teacher sets a time limit on an assignment, the teacher controls it, and in a live session can extend the time for the whole session.
• No content that flashes.

What is not yet in place

We are listing these because a district reviewer will ask, and because they are the work plan.

• No formal WCAG 2.1 AA audit by a qualified reviewer, and no VPAT.
• No screen-reader testing across NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver. Dynamic feedback — the "Saved" indicator, quiz results appearing after an answer, AI tutor replies — is not yet announced through live regions, so a screen-reader user may not be told that something changed.
• Color contrast has not been audited against the 4.5:1 text ratio.
• No skip-to-content link at the top of pages.
• Some teacher-facing analytics views (charts, mastery grids) convey information visually without a full text equivalent.
• Uploaded photographs of handwritten work are, by nature, images; the AI-generated reading of them is available as text, but it is a machine reading and may be wrong.
• Reflow has been verified at 375px, not at the 320px width WCAG 1.4.10 specifies.
• No per-student extended time. Time limits are set per assignment; a teacher cannot yet extend time for one student, which is the most common accommodation. Teachers can remove the limit for the whole assignment instead.

Roadmap

1. Add live-region announcements for dynamic feedback in the student quiz and tutor flows.
2. Contrast audit and fixes across the design system.
3. Skip-to-content link.
4. Text equivalents for teacher analytics.
5. Per-student extended time, and reflow verified at 320px.
6. Screen-reader test pass, then a formal WCAG 2.1 AA audit and a VPAT.

We will update this statement as each item lands.

Accommodations and feedback

If you or a student cannot access part of LearnPath, tell us and we will work with the teacher to provide the content another way while we fix it.
