ADA-accessible career assessment

Career discovery designed for disability services. WCAG 2.1 AA, screen-reader tested, no time pressure, IPE-ready.

State VR agencies, Centers for Independent Living, Disability:IN partner employers, AT loan programmes, UK Access to Work delivery partners. JAWS / NVDA / VoiceOver tested, keyboard-only operable, motion-reduction and high-contrast modes.

In Brief

JobCannon for Disability Services supports state Vocational Rehabilitation agencies, Centers for Independent Living, Disability:IN partner employers, Assistive Technology loan programmes, UK Access to Work delivery partners, and disability-employment charities (Mencap, Scope, Shaw Trust). The platform is WCAG 2.1 AA-aligned across all assessment flows and the Career Guide output, screen-reader tested with JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver, keyboard-only operable end-to-end, with high-contrast and motion-reduction modes available. Physical disability accommodations include no time pressure, pause-resume at question level, and modular 10-15 minute completion chunks for energy-management. Visual-impairment support includes verbal-pattern alternatives for visual-spatial subtests so users complete an equivalent battery rather than skipping. Career Guide output is structured for screen-reader linear reading. State VR counsellors use the platform output as one evidence piece in IPE (Individual Plan for Employment) documentation alongside interview and observation. We do not claim AAA compliance — that requires a separate audit — but AA is fully covered, and procurement teams in state VR and UK Access to Work have validated the implementation. Audio-narrated mode in active build adds an additional audio layer beyond TTS readers.

What disability services programmes get

Configured for ADA-accessible career discovery.

WCAG 2.1 AA across full flow
Assessment flow and Career Guide output both AA-compliant. Screen-reader tested with JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver. Keyboard-only operable end-to-end. High-contrast, dark mode, motion-reduction settings.
No time pressure, pause-resume
Physical-disability and motor-impairment users are not penalised for slower navigation. Pause-resume preserves progress at question level for energy-management. Modular 10-15 min chunks fit varying stamina.
Visual-impairment alternatives
Verbal-pattern alternatives for visual-spatial subtests — visually impaired users complete an equivalent battery rather than skipping. Career Guide structured for linear screen-reader reading.
IPE / employment-plan ready
Career Guide output used by state VR counsellors as evidence in Individual Plan for Employment documentation. Aggregate exports formatted for state VR performance reporting.

FAQ

Which disability services typically deploy this?

Five common deployments. (1) State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies running federally-funded VR services for clients with disabilities. (2) Centers for Independent Living (CILs) supporting employment-readiness for community clients. (3) Disability:IN partner employers running DEI hiring programmes. (4) Assistive Technology loan programmes pairing AT with career-discovery support. (5) UK Access to Work scheme delivery partners and disability-employment charities (Mencap, Scope, Shaw Trust). JobCannon serves each because the platform is WCAG 2.1 AA-aligned, screen-reader tested, and produces a Career Guide that VR counsellors and disability-employment coordinators use as evidence in IPE/employment-plan documentation.

How accessible is the platform actually?

WCAG 2.1 AA-aligned across all assessment flows and the Career Guide output. Screen-reader tested with JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver — assessment questions, response options, and progress indicators are all screen-reader navigable. Keyboard-only navigation is supported for all interactive elements. Colour contrast meets AA across the entire UX with high-contrast and dark modes available. Motion-reduction settings reduce animations for users with vestibular sensitivity. Font-size scaling works at browser-level zoom up to 400%. We do not claim AAA compliance — that requires a separate audit — but AA is fully covered.

How does it handle physical disability accommodations?

Three layers. (1) No time pressure on any assessment — physical-disability and motor-impairment users are not penalised for slower navigation. (2) Pause-resume preserves progress at the question level for users with energy-management needs (chronic illness, fatigue conditions). (3) Modular completion in 10-15 minute chunks fits cohort sessions where stamina varies. For users with significant motor impairment using switch access or eye-tracking input, we have tested compatibility but recommend a brief technical discovery call to confirm specific configurations work in the target environment.

Is this validated for use in IPE / employment-plan documentation?

JobCannon Career Guide output is used as one piece of evidence in Individual Plan for Employment (IPE) documentation by state VR counsellors. We do not certify the assessment as the sole or definitive employment-plan instrument; IPE construction is a counsellor decision integrating assessment, interview, and observation. The platform produces validated trait profiles (Big Five OCEAN), interest profiles (RIASEC), skills self-assessment, and AI Career Match — VR counsellors integrate these into the IPE narrative rather than treating the platform output as the IPE itself.

How does it support visually impaired users?

Beyond standard screen-reader support, three specific accommodations apply. (1) Visual-spatial assessment subtests (Multiple Intelligences spatial, IQ pattern recognition) are supplemented with verbal-pattern alternatives so visually impaired users can complete an equivalent battery rather than skipping subtests. (2) The Career Guide output is structured for screen-reader linear reading — headings, lists, and skill-gap descriptions all navigate cleanly without visual layout dependencies. (3) Audio-narrated mode in active build provides an additional audio layer beyond what TTS readers provide. Direct partnerships with AT loan programmes for screen-reader licensing are scoped on partnership engagements.

How is this different from generic career platforms with "accessibility checked"?

Most career platforms list "WCAG 2.1 AA" as a procurement-checklist item and ship a partial implementation. JobCannon's WCAG 2.1 AA implementation is genuine across the full assessment flow (not just the marketing site), screen-reader tested with JAWS / NVDA / VoiceOver, keyboard-only operable end-to-end, and WCAG-aligned via design-system primitives rather than retrofit. The pause-resume, no-time-pressure, and modular-completion features are core to the assessment design rather than added-on accessibility theatre. State VR and UK Access to Work procurement teams have validated the implementation in tests.
