  • Ensure high contrast between text and background for readability.
  • Use headings to structure content logically for screen reader users.
• Keyboard Navigation: Ensure that all interactive elements (e.g., forms, quizzes, navigation) are fully accessible via keyboard for users who cannot use a mouse.
