Accessibility

Last updated 26 October 2026

We want this course to work for your body, your senses and your energy. If something doesn’t, please tell us. Your experience helps us make it better. It was designed around Autistic ways of learning and sensing, with fluctuating attention, energy and processing time in mind, including for AuDHD and multiply disabled learners.

What we have built in

• No timers, no failure screens, free retries, and lessons you can pause at any card.
• An Accessibility button on every page (bottom left) that opens display settings: six colour choices (match your device, light, dark, a soft “calm” theme, and high-contrast light and dark), text size from 90% to 200%, five fonts (including a dyslexia-friendly one), letter, word and line spacing, less movement, underlined links, a stronger keyboard focus outline, and a narrower text column. Your choices are saved on your device and applied before each page appears.
• A reduce-motion setting, and the course respects your device’s reduced-motion preference. Animations, including Phoenix, become calm static poses.
• Sound never plays automatically. Voice features are off until you turn them on, and spoken replies always have written captions.
• Full keyboard use, visible focus, semantic headings, labelled controls, and live announcements for screen readers.
• An option to hide all game elements (XP, levels, badges, streaks).
• Content notes before heavy chapters, and a permanent Help button with worldwide crisis and text options.
• A clear, high-legibility typeface (Atkinson Hyperlegible).

Known limits

Speech recognition is not available in every browser (it works in Chrome, Edge and Safari, but not Firefox). Typing always works. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA, but we have not yet had the course independently audited, so please tell us about anything that gets in your way. High-contrast themes, large text and spacing are tested with the panel above, and very large text on a small phone is the tightest fit.

Tell us

If something is hard to use, or you need the material in another format, email enquiries@neurohubcommunity.org and we will work with you. Once you are signed in to the course, you can also send a bug report from inside it, in writing. None of these ways of getting in touch needs a phone call.
