The Editorial Team also makes certain that all materials are age-appropriate for 国产麻豆剧and align with current or pending state, district, and other policies.
Our approach to accessibility
Amplify creates products that serve the needs of all learners, including those with disabilities. We refine our practices regularly and incorporate feedback from our users and accessibility experts.
Amplify works with third-party experts in digital accessibility to help ensure that we build and maintain our products in accordance with the latest Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and other relevant legal requirements. How we do it:
- Integrated accessibility practices: We embed accessibility considerations into our product development lifecycles. We also implement training and vendor management programs that support compliance with applicable standards, guidelines, and best practices.
- Structured, accessible content: We create well-structured, easily navigable content that meets diverse user needs, including clear, readable text, properly labeled multimedia, and logical organization of information.
- Development and testing for accessibility: We work with third-party experts to conduct assessments against accessibility standards and develop remediation plans if deficiencies are identified. Our internal quality assurance protocols include scenarios that test functionality for users with disabilities.
- Comprehensive training and support: We provide continuous training and resources for team members involved in developing our products to help them understand and implement accessibility requirements. This includes training on the latest WCAG guidelines and updates on industry and legal standards.
- Inclusive design patterns: We prioritize accessible design patterns to create interfaces that are intuitive for users.
In addition, all student-facing print components are available in the National Instructional Materials Access Center (NIMAC) database, and all student-facing PDFs in Amplify curriculum are formatted to be compatible with screen readers.
