Limitations and alternatives 

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of $martPath, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations, and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below. 

Known limitations for $martPath : 

1. Interactives within the $martPath platform itself are not yet accessible: The interactives contain drag and drop exercises because the interactives were developed prior to WCAG guidelines. We are working with a developer to rebuild the interactives to make them accessible. Please contact us for accessible materials in the meantime. 

1. The platform pages' color contrast and form inputs are not all accessible yet: These pages predated WCAG guidelines as well. Our developer audited the pages and is making them fully accessible (fall of 2023).
