    • Accessibility Roadmap

      • 2026 (Planned)

        • Conduct first comprehensive WCAG 2.1 accessibility audit

        • Complete Section 508 compliance review

        • Screen reader testing with JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver

        • Keyboard-only navigation testing and remediation

        • Color contrast verification and fixes

        • Add alternative text to all image

        • Implement MathML for mathematical equations

        • Complete closed captions on all video tutorials

        • Address gaps identified in Q1 audit

        • Document VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template)

    • Risk Assessment for Districts

      • High Risk Items

        • No formal accessibility audit completed - Districts cannot verify SCAG/508 compliance

        • Tablet Incompatibility - May exclude students who primarily use iPads/tablets

        • Screen reader compatibility unknown - May not be usable by blind/low-vision students independently

        • No keyboard navigation verification - May create barriers for students with motor impairments

      • Medium Risk Items

        • Mathematical notation accessibility - Fractions may not read correctly with assistive tech

        • Video accessibility - Captions not yet complete on all content

        • Visual-only information - Graphs and charts may lack text alternatives

      • Low Risk Items

        • Strong privacy compliance (COPPA / FERPA)

        • Built-in differentiation reduces need for separate accommodations

        • Flexible pacing accommodates many learning needs

        • Development team committed to accessibility improvements

    • Recommendations for Districts

      • Before Adoption

        • Review with Special Education Director - Assess whether gaps impact your student population

        • Pilot with diverse learners - Test with students who use assistive technology

        • Plan for accommodations - Identify how to support students who need screen readers, keyboard navigation, or tablet access

        • Request VPAT - Ask for Voluntary Product Accessibilty Template once Q1 2026 audit complete

      • During Implementation

        • Computer access required - Ensure students have laptop/ Chromebook/ desktop access

        • Teacher support needed - Studetns with sugnificant accessibility needs may require teacher assistance

        • Alternative formats - Be prepared to provide human reader support or alternative assignments

        • Monitor and report - Document any accessibility barriers encountered and report to vendor

      • For IEP/ 504 Compliance

        • Built-in differentiation helps - Math difficulty can be adjusted per student without stigma

        • Extended time automatic - Week-long windows and no timed components

        • Multiple attempts allowed - Reduces test anxiety and supports processing differences

        • But - May require accommodations for screen reader users, tablet users, or students with visual impairments

    • Vendor Commitment

      • dfusion Inc. / STEMPlay Labs commits to:

        • Conducting first formal accessibility audit 2026

        • Sharing audit results and remediation plans with partner districts

        • Responding to accessibility concerns within 5 business days

        • Providing alternative formats for educational materials upon request

        • Working with districts to address barriers as they are identified

        • We acknowledge that FSML does not currently meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards and cannot be certified as Section 508 or ADA compliant at this time.

      For Districts Considering Adoption:

      Request our full accessibility documentation, pilot program information, and 2026 audit timeline.

      Current Status for Procurement:

      FSML is appropriate for districts willing to pilot an emerging educational technology with strong pedagogical features but incomplete accessibility certification. Not recommended for districts requiring certified WCAG 2.1 AA compliance or guaranteed assistive technology compatibility at this time.
