Executive Summary

This accessibility evaluation reviewed a representative sample of 21 pages from the Access Sciences 2026 website against WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Of 55 success criteria reported, 40 passed, 2 failed, and 13 were not present.

Overall, the site demonstrates strong baseline accessibility performance across key areas including keyboard operation, focus visibility, structure, labeling, and compatibility. The primary gaps are limited to prerecorded media requirements.

The two failed criteria are 1.2.3 (Audio Description or Media Alternative – Prerecorded) and 1.2.5 (Audio Description – Prerecorded), where videos lacked audio description support. Addressing these media-specific issues would substantially improve conformance posture and strengthen user experience for people who rely on audio description.
