Accessibility Checklist:

✅ Do all hyperlinks have descriptive text?

✅ Readable text design? Consider using simple fonts (12pt+, sans serif) and high contrast colors.

✅ Do images include alternative text?

✅ "Videos captioned and audio transcripts available?" Include written transcripts for audio files and closed-captioning for video files. Keep recordings between 3-10 minutes in length. If longer, segment the recordings.

✅ Documents: all text should be searchable and include identifying headers and labels.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can support digital inclusion by detecting accessibility issues that are present in your design. Accessibility tools are provided on most platforms and softwares to fix any accessibility issues.

Disclaimer: "Design accessibility isn't a guarantee of accessibility compliance, but it'll help you get there."

Why It Matters:

Digital inclusion means making sure all students—regardless of ability, language, or access—can fully engage in digital learning. It includes accessible content, adaptive tools, and inclusive design.

WAVE ® is a suite of evaluation tools that helps authors make their web content more accessible to individuals with disabilities. WAVE can identify many accessibility and Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) errors, but also facilitates human evaluation of web content. Our philosophy is to focus on issues that we know impact end users, facilitate human evaluation, and to educate about web accessibility.

WAVE Browser Extensions

You can use the online WAVE tool by entering a web page address (URL) in the field above. WAVE Chrome, Firefox, and Edge browser extensions are available for testing accessibility directly within your web browser - handy for checking password protected, locally stored, or highly dynamic pages.

WAVE API and Testing Engine

The WAVE subscription API and Stand-alone WAVE API and Testing Engine are powerful tools for easily collecting accessibility test data on many pages. The stand-alone API and Testing Engine can be integrated into your infrastructure for testing intranet, non-public, and secure pages, including in continuous integration processes.

Accessibility IMpact (AIM) Report

Your Accessibility IMpact (AIM) assessment report provides detailed WAVE test data, your site's AIM score (a measure of end user impact compared to web pages generally and as determined by human testers), and expert manual test results to give you insights into the accessibility of your web site for users with disabilities.

Need more than one page at a time?

Our friends at provide an enterprise-level web accessibility evaluation system based on WAVE that gives site-wide monitoring and reporting over time.
