Access and Equity
Accessibility is about unlocking opportunity. Technology has the power to scale supports so that students can reach their potential. At Edmentum, we strive to bring these two ideas together, and we design educational technology that can deliver equitable learning experiences for all.
Empowering every learner
Our commitment to accessibility and equity is supported in the work we do.
Guided by external expertise
We work with Level Access, leveraging its 25 years of accessibility expertise to evaluate our learning programs in accordance with best practices.
Built to key design principles
We use the key principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to create new content and modify existing content to ensure equity of instructional materials for all learners.
Committed to ADA compliance
We remain committed to complying fully with accessibility standards included in W3C’s WCAG 2.1 A and AA conformance levels and continually investing in product capabilities to achieve this aim.
Fueled by educator needs
We prioritize listening to our school and district partners to shape improvements that move the needle on equitable learning opportunities.
Demonstrating accessibility with VPAT
We're always improving. Refer to our Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) to understand our current accessibility status. Developed by the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), the VPAT outlines our compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
Removing learning barriers
Central to how we support inclusive classrooms are the accommodations and modifications our programs enable. As educators rise to meet the needs of students with IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) or Section 504 plans, they can feel confident that they have flexible tools built for their needs.
Shaping inclusive instruction
Our commitment to inclusion is woven into the philosophy of our educational design. We create content that educators and students can see themselves in and gain perspective on the world, ensuring that the material reflects our diverse global learner populations.
