Built to be accessible for every learner

Accessibility is a core part of how we build
We follow best practices based on Section 508 federal requirements and the recommendations of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). If you encounter a barrier, please reach out directly to our team — we review every accessibility report and respond promptly: support@assistments.org
Section 508
We follow the Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards authorized by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board.
W3C / WCAG
We follow the recommendations of the World Wide Web Consortium, implementing WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 at Levels A and AA.
Ongoing Testing
We test with real assistive technologies and update our platform regularly as new accessibility information becomes available.

Accessibility Standards & Support
Skip Navigation Link
Every page begins with a "skip navigation" link so screen reader and keyboard users can jump directly to the main content, bypassing repeated navigation menus.

High-Contrast Layout
The site uses a three-column flexible layout with high-contrast dark text on a light background to support users with low vision or reading difficulties.

Meaningful Alt Text
All platform-authored images include descriptive alt text. Long descriptions are provided where appropriate, and we welcome reports of any missing alt text.

Accessible Tables & Links
Data tables include proper row and column header associations. All hyperlinks are written to be meaningful when read in isolation by a screen reader.

Audio & Video Alternatives
When students cannot see or hear hint content, a text-based alternative is available. YouTube videos support automatically-generated closed captions.

Keyboard Navigation
All interactive elements are reachable and operable by keyboard. Focus order matches the visual reading sequence, and GeoGebra applet users can exit via the Esc key.

Read Aloud (Text-to-Speech)
Students hover a play button at the top of any problem to hear it read aloud, or highlight specific text for partial read-aloud. Supports visual impairments, learning differences, and language barriers. Learn More
Math Keyboard
A visual keyboard for algebraic and numeric input removes formatting barriers in fill-in-the-blank problems. Automatically adapts by grade level (Elementary, Middle, and High School). Learn More
