State institutions are requiring documentation of digital accessibility in the form a VPAT for products used by state agencies including those used by public universities for teaching.
Would you it possible to provide a VPAT and make any changes necessary to the product to make it accessilble?
Just to make sure I understand: which product are you referring to here? The Processing editor (PDE), the p5.js web editor (editor.p5js.org), or something else in the Processing ecosystem?
I’m referring to the PDE that runs on MacOS and Windows. I know the VPAT uses terminology from web accessibility, but our organization is treating those documents as if they cover desktop applications as well.
Please note that this is a self assessment, and was not performed by accessibility specialists. It should not be considered a legally binding claim of compliance.
We continuously work on making Processing more accessible. In Processing 4.5.2, we introduced accessibility improvements to the Preferences and Welcome screens. These changes are described in this blog post.
If you have further questions or need additional information, just let me know.
