Why Education Leaders Call Magic EdTech for WCAG Compliance

When a K-12 publisher gets a terse note from the Texas Education Agency, a SaaS learning platform racks up a four-digit backlog of “keyboard-trap” bugs, or a decades-old education brand discovers its shiny new portal fails every screen-reader test, our phones light up.

We step in as the “calm-but-unsparing” experts who translate the fine print of WCAG compliance for education technology into an action plan that delivers.

The Three Accessibility Client Archetypes & Their Headaches

Our 5-Step Playbook for EdTech Product WCAG Compliance

1. Blueprint for Accessibility & Backlog Clearance

We create a standardized framework to address accessibility issues in the product. Map every user flow, bucket defects by effort/impact, and build a living backlog. This prevents 30% of accessibility retrofits later.

2. Framework-First for Ease of Compliance

We develop reusable patterns, ARIA math grids, keyboard-first components, and color token libraries, for easier development in-line with accessibility. So, for example,  60+ interactives can be made accessible in days, not months.

3. Hybrid Accessibility Testing Stack for EdTech Products

Automated scanners for speed, CPACC-certified testers for nuance, and a panel of real users with disabilities for reality checks. Scanners catch up to 40% of issues; humans close the other 60%.

4. Sprint-Driven Accessibility Remediation

150 story points per sprint is our typical velocity. (Story points are our way of sizing accessibility work. Each keyboard-trap fix, or ARIA overhaul, gets a point value based on effort and complexity.)  150 points means our team can tackle roughly 150 “units” of accessibility remediation every sprint (think dozens of medium-sized bugs or a handful of gnarly cross-page issues). For you, this means engineering isn’t frozen in a long compliance freeze; new features and accessibility fixes flow in tandem.

5. ACR Proof & Inclusion Advocacy

We author the VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) and Accessibility Compliance Report once remediation is complete, turning raw defect data into the procurement-ready document buyers demand. Our team also runs a walkthrough with your legal/compliance team, line-by-line, so they can defend every “Supports” or “Partially Supports” claim without scrambling for SME help on deadline day. When a state agency (for example, the Texas Education Agency) has its own twists on WCAG or Section 508, we get on the call, show our work, and secure buy-in before you submit, preventing surprise rejections.
