[BlindKid] Illuminate Accessibility

Thu Dec 19 20:09:10 UTC 2019

I will see what I can do. From what the girls tell me, they have a login, but also there is always an access code for any particular test they would take. That, I am pretty sure I wouldn't be able to get.
A little more research on my part, and it looks like tests can be created in Illuminate, so it very well might be a matter of accessibility on that end, as well. Thanks.

I am more than happy to try any site you want tested--just send the URL, user and pw which you can get from the school and I can do a video on its accessibility.
Schools send that for me to test out for the kids we teach and many are accessible, some are mostly accessible and others need work.
