Compatible Technologies
Our platform is designed to be compatible with:

Despite our best efforts, some accessibility challenges may exist:
Some complex interactive exercises may have limited screen reader support
Third-party embedded content (e.g., videos) may not always meet our accessibility standards
PDF downloads may require additional accessibility tools for optimal access
Pronunciation exercises require audio input and are provided as optional supplementary practice. These features work best on desktop browsers and may have limited functionality on mobile devices. Pronunciation practice is not required to complete modules or earn CME credits.
We are actively working to address these limitations in future updates.

We are committed to continuous improvement and regularly:
Conduct accessibility audits and user testing with assistive technologies
Train our development team on accessibility best practices
Incorporate user feedback into our accessibility roadmap
