Dear Mr.  Sexton,

I'm afraid that Kaplan accessibility issues don't end with their books.
When I took their LSAT class last spring, I also encountered various
problems with their online resources.  For instance, the "Start Lesson"
button for the online tutorials was completely inaccessible to JAWS, to the
extent that the screen reader didn't even recognize its presence, let alone
was able to interact with it.

I reported all these issues to Kaplan's ADA administrator, and they did fix
the start button, but only when I threatened to sue the company a couple
months after I brought the issue to their attention.  That said, my
impression is that Kaplan either has no plans to enhance the accessibility
of its products, or the company does not know how to properly implement such
features.  Personally, I think it's the latter.  That is why I have offered
to work with their ADA administrator in the past to resolve these issues,
and I intend to follow up with him on this matter.  Thank you for bringing
this to my attention.

Best,

Michal

Hello All,

Kaplan's book was not easily navigable. Part were simply not accessible. The
text was out of order. They were very resistant to make it more accessible.
They also contracted out the accessibility work to modify the book. The
contracted company did not make useful changes.   

PowerScore has someone in house who makes accessibility changes.  They make
changes quickly.  They also understand what makes the book accessible. They
were willing to break the electronic PDF book into logical sections both to
reduce the size of the file, and to make navigation easier.  Also, in
general I like their study methods.  

I hope this helps someone.

Best,
Bruce
