Thanks, Brandon!

I believe the tool being used in this case is Explorance Blue. Anyone have experience with this one?

Hello Courtney,
I do a radio button with number options (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and just tell the user in the question that 1 is low and 5 is high, or whatever the scale is. Don't use the default scales unless you know they work. Just make your own. To get the radio buttons you do 5 choices where the user can only select one.
I use both Microsoft forms and Google Forms, but I've also seen it done on Qualtrics.
Thanks,

Greetings,

Does anyone have an example of a Likert scale form question that is accessible? I'm trying to help someone who's using a survey tool to create these, and the question isn't being associated with the answers. I know I've encountered accessible ones, but all the examples I could think of were in official surveys that I can't reach now.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.
