Accessibility Statement

Operator: Oddball Outpost LLC · Service: HomeworkTurtle · Last reviewed: 2026-09-02

Our commitment

HomeworkTurtle is a study tool used by students, including children, many of whom learn differently. Accessibility isn't a checkbox for us — it's part of the product. We build to be usable by people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, motor, cognitive, and neurological differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, and autism.

Standard we measure against

We measure HomeworkTurtle against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This is the standard most widely referenced by disability law and accessibility practice, and we build new work toward WCAG 2.2 AA as it becomes the forward standard.

Conformance status: Partially conformant. "Partially conformant" means most of the service meets WCAG 2.1 AA, but some parts do not yet fully conform. We are actively working on the gaps listed below.

What HomeworkTurtle already supports

These accessibility features are built into the product today:

Readable fonts by choice — including OpenDyslexic, Atkinson Hyperlegible, and Lexend, alongside the system font.
Reading aids — adjustable text, letter, line, and paragraph spacing; a reading ruler; bold and bionic-reading modes; and six low-glare reading tints.
Color & contrast — high-contrast and reduced-transparency options.
Reduced motion — animations can be minimized, and on our apps we honor your device's system "Reduce Motion" setting.
Larger touch targets and reduced-distraction modes for motor and attention needs.
Accessibility profiles — one-tap presets (e.g. Dyslexia-, ADHD-, and Autism-friendly, Low-Sensory) plus the ability to save your own.
An adaptive AI tutor that adjusts reading level and explanation complexity to your accessibility settings.
Keyboard access and screen-reader labeling across core flows on the web, with focus management in dialogs.

Known limitations

We'd rather tell you where we fall short than pretend we're perfect. As of the review date above, we're aware of and working on the following:

Small text and controls in parts of the web app. Some labels and buttons in the main web application are smaller than our target size. Workaround: browser zoom and your operating system's text-size settings are respected; on our apps you can also enable "Larger tap targets."
Accessibility settings don't yet carry into every screen of the web app. Preferences chosen in the web Accessibility hub currently apply best on our native apps and the hub itself; we're extending them across the full web experience.
Some decorative animations and images may not yet fully respect reduced-motion or screen-reader hiding in every location.
A small number of icons and inputs may lack a text label in less-used areas.

If a barrier is blocking you and isn't listed here, please tell us (below) — we treat accessibility reports as high priority.

Compatibility and technologies

HomeworkTurtle is designed to work with current versions of major browsers (Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox) and with assistive technologies including VoiceOver (Apple) and common screen readers. Our native apps support the accessibility features built into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. The service relies on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript; if JavaScript is disabled, core functionality may be unavailable.

How we assess accessibility

We evaluate HomeworkTurtle through a combination of internal manual review, automated checks, and testing with assistive technology. This statement reflects a self-assessment; it has not yet been independently audited or certified by a third party.

Give us accessibility feedback

If you have trouble using any part of HomeworkTurtle, or you have a suggestion, please contact us. We aim to respond within 5 business days.

Email: support@homeworkturtle.com (please put "Accessibility" in the subject line).

Tell us what page or screen you were on, what you were trying to do, what happened, and the device, browser, or assistive technology you were using — it helps us fix the right thing faster.

Enforcement and your rights

We want to resolve accessibility issues directly and quickly. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights under disability-access laws — for example the Americans with Disabilities Act in the United States, the Equality Act 2010 in the United Kingdom, or the European Accessibility Act in the European Union. If we haven't resolved your concern, you may be able to raise it with the relevant authority in your jurisdiction.
