Accessibility statement

What we are working towards

Klimbo wants to be usable for every child and every parent, also with a screen reader, only a keyboard, or another way of seeing and reading. We work towards the WCAG 2.2 guidelines at level AA for the site and the app.

Status: partially compliant. Below is what is already good and what is not yet.

What is already good

• All buttons and links can be reached with the keyboard and have a visible focus outline.
• The colour contrast of text on its background meets AA; the colours were chosen and tested for it.
• The typeface (Nunito) is large and easy to read; the app has a setting per child with larger letters and more letter spacing.
• Texts in the app can be read aloud with the browser's voice ("Lees voor", read aloud).
• Forms have labels, error messages are in text next to the field, and nothing is shown by colour alone.
• Switches, checkboxes and buttons tell screen readers their role and state.
• There are no timers, no moving images that cannot be stopped and no flashing elements.

What is not good yet

• A full test with a screen reader (VoiceOver on iPad and NVDA on Windows) of the child's session and the parent dashboard.
• Drag and point questions in the app get an equivalent way to answer with only the keyboard or only tapping.
• Descriptive alt text for all illustrations, the mascot included.
• An audit by an independent accessibility expert before the first pilot with a municipality.

We expect to finish these points before the first pilot with a municipality or Stichting Leergeld. We will put the date and the outcome of the audit here.
