Accessibility and usability barriers 

The following information is provided to help people with disabilities know what potential barriers may exist.

Elements that break or are left out of the keyboard navigation order create barriers 

The rich text boxes in Betty Blocks appear to trap a user’s keyboard focus, and the user cannot navigate out of the text box unless they refresh the page. This makes it extremely difficult to access the elements around the text box as well. Additionally, buttons that launch or close modal popups do not appear to respond to keyboard or screen reader interactions. 

Low contrast indications of keyboard focus may cause barriers for people who have low vision or colorblindness

Some of the visual indications of keyboard focus or link and tab active states are low contrast and may be difficult to perceive.
