Students With Disabilities: an accessibility watchdog with a public leaderboard
A website scanner checks organizations’ homepages for accessibility failures, assigns an A–F grade, and feeds results into public rankings.
Field notes
The scanner describes a two-part process: automated checks of homepage HTML plus inspection of PDFs linked from that homepage. Its reported checks cover headings, language settings, alternative text, form labels, landmark navigation, skip links, and document tagging, with results scored out of 100 and translated into letter grades. The homepage says results will become public and permanent, while stressing that a static scan cannot replace manual accessibility testing.
