Subject: ADA-compliance for abstract reasoning testing
No previous message | Next message →
Hello, I work for a company that offers various types of content development work and manage a large freelancer database. As part of that database, we ask -- but do not require -- freelancers to take several different types of abstract reasoning tests so that we can help to better match up freelancers to projects. We are trying to come up with a way to make these types of tests accessible and ADA-compliant. It is NOT mandatory for freelancers to take these tests to be a part of the database, but those who have results in our database would benefit more than those freelancers who do not. These tests are often heavily visual and I assume that just offering alt-text will not truly suffice as I imagine there are better ways to approach abstract reasoning testing for visually impaired users. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best way to approach accessibility/ADA-compliance with abstract reasoning tests?
Thank you for any guidance or direction anyone can offer!
best,
Danielle

Hi Danielle,
Kindly excuse since my question is off topic. Well, I train people with
disabilities in Accessibility Testing where most of them prefer to work
from home as freelancers. Is there a way they can join your company's
freelancer network and get some projects for their livelihood? Thx!

Danielle,
There are multiple answers based on how each question is
presented, written, etc. You may need to re-design the assessment, add
elements to ensure it is accessible, or rethink the assessment/question so
it can be created accessibly. Maybe you could give an example question for
feedback?

I work in blindness. For k12 high stakes testing we gathered a small group
of vision professionals (one was a psychometrician who has extensive
experience with blind children). The visual parts of each question was
analyzed for the actual task for the question, then a non-visual adaptation
was proposed. Every test given had a number of validation test questions,
the no -visual ones were part of the rotation and we're validated with the
other validation questions on all students not just blind students.
It takes time and a group that understands non-visual instruction.
