DESCRIPTION

The state school for the blind in Kansas is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive website accessibility compliance services. The primary objective is to update the school's website to fully meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance prior to the federal mandate deadline.

Required services include automated scanning audits to identify clear accessibility issues such as color contrast inconsistencies and missing alt text. The project requires thorough keyboard-only testing to ensure logical focus order and the presence of visible focus indicators. In addition to automated tools, mandatory manual screen reader scans using JAWS, NVDA, and Voiceover must be conducted. These scans are to verify reading order, proper announcement of form labels and error messages, clarity of interactive elements, announcement of AJAX-loaded content, and correct focus management in modal dialogs.

Other expectations are the provision of quality alt-text and long descriptions for educational graphics, optimization for assistive technologies with ARIA landmarks, 'Skip Navigation' links, and non-visual error handling such as live spoken feedback during form interactions. All documents and media, including PDFs and videos, must be remediated for accessibility, with PDFs fully tagged and videos incorporating extended audio descriptions. Compatibility for refreshable Braille displays is also required.
