Accessibility
ptechlargo.com and every P-TECH IT course site are built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, so every student can use them with a keyboard, a screen reader, zoom, or a phone.
What is built in
- A "Skip to content" link and breadcrumbs on every page.
- Every link, button and form field works with the keyboard, with a visible focus outline.
- Text and form-field outlines meet WCAG contrast minimums.
- Buttons and links are at least 44 pixels tall for touch screens.
- Motion is turned off for anyone whose device asks for reduced motion.
Testing
Last tested October 20, 2026. Pages: Home, Courses, the INT 1010 course home, an INT 1010 module page, Program results, Trust & Privacy, Nondiscrimination, and this statement, each at desktop and phone width.
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| Automated scan: axe-core 4.14, WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 Level A and AA rules, 16 page views | Three issues found and fixed the same day: the site-status link's spoken name did not include its visible words; two wide tables could not be scrolled with the keyboard on phones; the Trust page had no "Skip to content" link. Re-scan: 0 issues. |
| Keyboard pass: Tab through each page, 254 stops in all | "Skip to content" is the first stop on every page. Every stop showed a visible focus outline. |
| Color contrast of the site palette | Text 7.4:1 to 14.2:1; form-field outlines 4.6:1; focus outline 14.1:1. |
| Second pass, same day: the This week page, the Spanish families page, the student-code box, and glossary pop-ups on notes pages | 0 issues at desktop and phone width. Glossary pop-ups open on click, hover or keyboard focus and close with Esc. |
Automated tools find only part of the barriers people meet. A screen-reader review with students is planned each semester, and the record above is updated after every test.
