Accessibility

GiraffeLens exists to help every family understand how their child learns, so the site itself has to work for every family. We aim for WCAG 2.2 level AA across the site and the screening activities.

What we've built

• • Full keyboard operability, with a skip-to-content link and visible focus indicators on every control.
• • Screen-reader support: semantic HTML, labelled form fields, described images, progress bars that report their state, and live announcements when quiz questions and results change.
• • Colour contrast meeting AA on text and controls, checked against our brand palette.
• • Large touch targets (56px minimum on child-facing activities) designed for tablets and small hands.
• • Reduced-motion support: animations are disabled when your device asks for less motion.
• • Plain-language content, written for tired parents, not specialists.

Known limitations

• • Two activities (Symbol Speed and Maths Fluency) are timed, because speed is the very thing they measure, so the time limit cannot be extended without invalidating the result. WCAG treats measurement timing as an essential exception, and the report notes when timing may have disadvantaged a child.
• • Some activities are inherently visual (pattern and shape reasoning) and cannot be made meaningful through a screen reader; the parent questionnaires and report remain fully accessible.
