WCAG 2.1 AA Reaves Labs & Learning targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across all products and this website.

Our Commitment

Reaves Labs & Learning, LLC is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users — including students with disabilities, educators, and adult learners. We believe every learner deserves equal access to education. Accessibility is not a feature; it is a baseline requirement for every product we ship.

Conformance Status

We target Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA conformance for this website and all education products. Below is our current status across key dimensions:

✓
Keyboard Navigation
All interactive elements reachable and operable via keyboard. Focus indicators visible.
✓
Screen Reader Support
Semantic HTML, ARIA labels, and live regions on dynamic content (agent feed, carousel).
✓
Color Contrast
Text contrast ratios meet WCAG AA minimums. Primary text on dark backgrounds exceeds 4.5:1.
✓
Reduced Motion
All animations respect prefers-reduced-motion. No animations fire when reduced motion is enabled.
✓
Alt Text
All product images and icons include descriptive alt attributes. Decorative images are aria-hidden.
✓
No PII collected
No personal data collected from children under 13. Zero PII stored by design.

Education Products

Our three flagship platforms — Reaves Academy, MarketSapien, and Adulting Academy — are designed with inclusive learning in mind:

  • Reaves Academy (K-12) — Designed for learners from kindergarten through 12th grade, including learners with different reading levels and learning styles. No account or PII required.
  • MarketSapien — Content is available in text form; no audio-only or video-only delivery. All interactive scenarios are operable by keyboard.
  • Adulting Academy — Adaptive pacing; learners can progress at their own speed. AI coaching is text-based and does not rely on audio comprehension.

Known Limitations

We are committed to transparency about current gaps:

  • Some third-party embedded demos (e.g., product iframe demos hosted on external subdomains) may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA. We are actively auditing and remediating these.
  • The virtual product tour uses visual targeting that currently lacks full screen-reader narration. Audio narration is available via the tour's built-in voice button.
  • Older product blueprint files available in the store predate our accessibility standards and are being updated incrementally.

Standards & Compliance

  • WCAG 2.1 AA — Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, Level AA
  • COPPA — Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. Zero student data collected.
  • FERPA — Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Our architecture collects no student records by design.
  • Section 508 — We follow Section 508 guidelines for federal accessibility standards applicable to educational technology.

Technical Approach

  • Semantic HTML5 throughout — proper heading hierarchy, landmark regions, and list structures.
  • ARIA attributes used where native HTML semantics are insufficient (carousels, live feed, chat widget).
  • All font sizes use relative units (rem / em) to respect user browser preferences.
  • Interactive components meet WCAG 2.5.5 (touch targets minimum 44×44 CSS pixels).
  • No content flashes more than three times per second (WCAG 2.3.1).
  • All animations are gated behind @media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference).

Feedback & Accommodation Requests

We welcome accessibility feedback. If you experience a barrier, need an accommodation, or would like to request content in an alternative format, contact us:

  • Email: [email protected]
  • Subject line: Accessibility
  • We respond to all accessibility inquiries within 2 business days.

We are committed to resolving reported barriers as quickly as possible and will provide interim accommodations where a fix requires time to implement.

Assessment Approach

Reaves Labs & Learning assesses accessibility through:

  • Self-evaluation using automated tools and manual keyboard/screen-reader testing.
  • Deployment gates that check heading hierarchy, motion accessibility, and ARIA label completeness on every release.
  • Ongoing review as new features are added, per our test-first development doctrine.
