Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has tested the Common app for accessibility? We've been asked to run some tests but I also figured I'd see if there was anything out there already in the wide world of google. I couldn't find anything so figured I'd check with folks here. We're planning to run two screen readers against it (NVDA and Voice Over), do full keyboard testing, and run a functional test (using AInspector).
Thanks!

i have herd from some TVIs that it is not accessible to there students
using screen readers and that the teacher needs to step in and help the
student fill out the app. they did say it was even harder for there low
vision students.
