Accessibility

Academic Success, Jayhawk GPS and EAB are fully committed to providing access to student success technology products for all users and works to include accessibility practices in all stages of software design, development and training.

EAB Global Inc. (EAB) is committed to ensuring digital Accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant Accessibility standards.

Conformance Status

EAB is fully committed to providing access to its technology products for all users and includes accessibility practices in all stages of software design and development. Developers receive accessibility training, with the goal that all software is tested prior to release. The testing process includes both automated and functional testing using common web browsers and several assistive technologies and techniques, including the JAWS 18 and NVDA screen readers (Firefox/Windows), VoiceOver (Safari/Mac), ZoomText, and keyboard-only navigation. For browsers, we support Chrome and Firefox for Windows or Mac operating systems and Safari for Mac.

EAB is committed to providing a software product suite that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are continually working to increase the Accessibility and Usability of all software solutions.

EAB endeavors to conform to level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0 AA), which is our focus area to meet our regulatory compliance. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user friendly for all people.

EAB recognizes the subjective nature of compliance. We adhere to WCAG 2.0 AA guidelines for our product suite but reserve the right to catalogue issues according to the analysis of our Accessibility Team.

EAB embraces the importance of regular and persistent efforts to improve access for users regardless of need or disability. As a commitment to continuous improvement, we have invested in an internal Accessibility Team, including representatives from Experience Design, Product Management, Development and Quality Assurance, specifically dedicated to accessibility tracking and remediation. We run our accessibility tools (e.g., Axe, Pa11y, and Color Contrast Assessment) daily against our platform and use the results to drive improvements.
