At QuaverEd, Inc., we recognize and value the diverse needs of every student. Our mission is to meet all users where they are, regardless of their learning style or access needs. We believe in providing multiple methods of interacting with content across our curricula for both students and teachers.
We’re committed to making our content accessible and aligned with all applicable state and federal accessibility laws. If a school district notifies us that certain content does not fully meet these standards, we may turn off or remove that content to support compliance. This helps ensure all students have equitable access to learning. See Terms and Conditions for more information.

We aim to complete remediation efforts before the ADA-defined April 24, 2026, timeline.

Layouts are logically and consistently arranged
Context and orientation language for the curriculum is provided in the Teacher Notes
Icons and actionable buttons are large and accompanied by text, unless the control is a commonly-used standard, such as a triangle for a play button
Color is not the sole determinant of required information

Keywords are also highlighted in text in video episodes

[H2] Accessibility FAQ
[H3] Overview
What is accessibility?
Being accessible means removing barriers for people with disabilities. Making a web page or digital content accessible means making sure that the content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. Accessible content is as consistent and equally available as non-accessible content. Users of QuaverEd curricula can identify content using their senses, access controls, buttons, navigation, and other interactive elements; comprehend our content; and use our content on many different devices (PC, Mac, Chromebook, mobile device, and more).
What does a11y mean?
The term a11y stands for “accessibility.” It is a numeronym, with “11” representing the number of letters between the letter “a” and the letter “y” in the word “accessibility.” When read aloud, “a11y” is usually pronounced as “accessibility,” “A-one-one-Y,” or “A-eleven-Y.”
Is QuaverEd accessible for Students and Educators?
The majority of content has been remediated for accessibility. Most lessons have accessible alternatives activated by toggling the accessibility control in the upper left-hand corner. These accessible alternatives ensure that users can utilize our lessons while ensuring teachers who have used QuaverEd products for years still have access to the lessons they know and love. Lesson screens were rebuilt with features including transcripts, captioning, audio descriptions, and keyboard navigation.
How do I get to the accessible screens?
Within a lesson, select the Accessibility Toggle at the top left of the lesson screen. This will trigger a pop-up with details on how to navigate the accessible lessons. Select OK, and it will load the accessible alternative screen. After entering Accessibility Mode, all lessons will load the accessible alternative until the toggle is switched off.
Select the Accessibility Toggle when viewing a screen.
[IMG: Accessibility toggle highlighted on screen in left corner of slide]
Select OK and the alternative accesbile screen will load.

[H3] Compliance
Does QuaverEd comply with national standards?
QuaverEd™ is dedicated to achieving Level AA compliance with the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2). We are also committed to meeting the federal government standards and requirements of Section 508 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act. We aim to complete remediation efforts before the ADA-defined April 24, 2026 timeline.
What is a VPAT or ACR?
A VPAT is a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template, and a filled-out VPAT is called an ACR, or Accessibility Conformance Report. It describes how well a product conforms to accessibility standards. This document allows QuaverEd to comprehensively analyze our curricula’s conformance to WCAG and Section 508 standards.
Are VPATs/ACRs available for Quaver Products?
For more information about QuaverEd’s accessible content, including the VPATs for our curricula, contact our Customer Service Department at (866) 917-3633, Monday through Friday between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. (Central Time), or fill out a contact form.
[H3] Curricula
Who is creating QuaverEd’s accessible screens?
QuaverEd’s Accessibility Team is composed of full-time staff and contractors who bring diverse expertise in education, accessibility, and lived experiences with disabilities. This diversity helps us design and review screens with empathy and a strong understanding of user needs.
Many of our team members have backgrounds in teaching students with disabilities and special education, giving them insight into the challenges learners may face and the accommodations that support success. Some team members also have personal experience living with disabilities, providing valuable perspective on accessibility needs.
[IMG: Logos representing accessibility certifications including IAAP CPACC, WAS, and CPWA, Trusted Tester, JAWS Certified, and NVDA Certified Expert]

These include Certified Professionals in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) and a Certified Professional in Web Accessibility (CPWA). We also have Certified Trusted Testers trained to evaluate digital accessibility using federal Section 508 standards, along with specialized certifications for assistive technology testing with screen readers such as JAWS and NVDA.
This combination of professional experience, industry certification, and personal insight reflects QuaverEd’s commitment to building accessible digital content that supports all users.
Is QuaverEd is dedicated to maintaining accessible curricula?
QuaverEd is committed to providing an accessible user experience. Our accessibility team works to ensure QuaverEd’s curricula meet recognized accessibility standards and are continually improved to support all users.
Will more of QuaverEd’s curricula be accessible in the future?

[H3] Functionality
What screen reader works best with QuaverEd’s website?
Computers:
Windows: Use JAWS for best experience
Mac: Use VoiceOver for best experience
Chomebooks: Use ChromeVox for best experience
Mobile devices:
Apple: Use VoiceOver for best experience
Android: Use TalkBack or Voice Assistant for best experience
Due to some of the technologies used to create QuaverEd’s interface and to get the best experience while using screen readers, there are some differences in how you will need to navigate the site. Modern assistive technologies are very advanced and will activate certain features when some elements pop up on the page or when a new window is opened. See the questions below to learn more about individual screen reader requirements.
What are the special requirements for navigating with JAWS?
QuaverEd’s accessible lesson framework simplifies lesson navigation using the Tab key. JAWS users must turn off the PC Virtual Cursor while navigating the accessible lessons. To do this use the command Insert + Z. JAWS will turn the Virtual Cursor back on by default when the page is refreshed or a new tab or window is opened. If you’re having difficulty navigating, try using the command to turn it off again.
Accessible lessons are navigated using the TAB or SHIFT + TAB commands and interactive elements are activated using SPACE or ENTER.
This information is also displayed in the Accessibility Mode popup that is displayed when accessing an accessible lesson.
What are the special requirements for navigating with NVDA?
QuaverEd’s accessible lesson framework simplifies lesson navigation using the Tab key. NVDA users will need to turn off Browse Mode while navigating the accessible lessons. To do this use the command Insert + SPACE. NVDA will turn Browse Mode back on by default when the page is refreshed or a new tab or window is opened. If you’re having difficulty navigating, try using the command to turn it off again.
Accessible lessons are navigated using the TAB or SHIFT + TAB commands and interactive elements are activated using SPACE or ENTER.
This information is also displayed in the Accessibility Mode popup that is displayed when accessing an accessible lesson.
What are the special requirements for navigating with VoiceOver?
VoiceOver users must ensure QuickNav is off while navigating the accessible lessons. To do this use the command LEFT ARROW + RIGHT ARROW. If you’re having difficulty navigating, try using the command to turn it off again.
Accessible lessons are navigated using the TAB or SHIFT + TAB commands, and interactive elements are activated using SPACE or ENTER.
This information is also displayed in the Accessibility Mode popup that is displayed when accessing an accessible lesson.
What are the special requirements for navigating with ChromeVox?
ChromeVox users must ensure Sticky Mode is off while navigating the accessible lessons. To do this use the command LAUNCHER or SEARCH twice quickly. If you’re having difficulty navigating, try using the command to turn it off again.
Accessible lessons are navigated using the TAB or SHIFT + TAB commands and interactive elements are activated using SPACE or ENTER.
This information is also displayed in the Accessibility Mode popup that is displayed when accessing an accessible lesson.
Is QuaverEd.com accessible?
In addition to building our site for WCAG and Section 508 compliance, QuaverEd.com also provides a plugin to offer a more accessible experience by providing features that would otherwise not be available. Using the accessiBe plugin you can take your QuaverEd.com experience and customize it to make sure you get the most out of our content. By keyboard navigation or mouse clicking the Accessibility Icon floating in the bottom left corner of the window, you’ll open a variety of options to take control of your experience. There are preset profiles for users who would like to use accessibility profiles such as Seizure Safe, Vision Impairment, Keyboard Navigation profiles, and more. You can also adjust individual items such as sizing, scaling, magnification, color adjustments, and orientation within the plugin. We aim to make our site not only accessible but easy to use as well. If you wish to browse our site without the plugin enabled, open the popup and press the Hide Interface button.
Why doesn’t Safari navigate correctly with just the tab key?
By default, Safari’s Tab key only jumps to links and form elements on a webpage. Option-Tab is Safari’s default method for keyboard navigation to take you to each item. The default can be switched by going to Safari’s Preferences > Advanced and selecting “Press Tab to highlight each item on a webpage.” Changing this preference will reverse the default settings and you can Tab through each item.
I’m looking at QuaverEd.com. Why don’t I see an accessible icon?
Check to make sure you don’t have a pop-up blocker turned on. If you do, whitelist QuaverEd.com and refresh the site.
Does QuaverEd work with third-party assistive technology?
Each and every accessible lesson’s screen is quality tested using screen readers and other assistive technologies on multiple platforms. QuaverEd’s products are tested to conform to WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines, this ensures that lessons are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.
Are transcripts available?
Transcripts are available for screens that include audio. For videos, the time-based media alternatives are included in Teacher Notes. For other screens, accessible PDF printable transcripts are linked in the Lesson Plan Presenter in Worksheets and also available by searching for the song title in Resource Manager.
Are the Spanish resources accessible?
As of 7/28/25 our Spanish resources are not accessible. We are activel
