About the publication
Accessibility and resource help
Choose HTML or print resources, use keyboard navigation and understand the accessibility features and document limitations of YAH for Schools.
YAH for Schools provides each classroom resource in full HTML and as a printable PDF. The browser version is the primary alternative when a PDF layout is difficult to use. This statement describes the features and checks of the edition prepared on 3 November 2026; it is not an accessibility certification.
Reading and navigating the website
The site uses semantic headings, ordinary links, clearly labelled navigation and a skip link to the main content. Keyboard focus is visible. Articles have an on-page contents list so readers can jump to a section. The text and layout reflow for smaller screens and browser zoom; wide tables can be scrolled inside their own region.
The mobile navigation uses a native collapsible menu with an expanded or collapsed state. Core page content and links remain available without JavaScript. Motion is limited, and the site respects a reduced-motion preference. Information is not conveyed by colour alone.
Choosing a resource format
Use the full HTML activity when you want text reflow, browser reading tools or a copy that can be adapted into a school's accessible template. You can print an HTML page using the browser's print command; navigation and decorative elements are removed from that layout.
The A4 PDFs offer prepared worksheets, cards and space for handwritten answers. They contain selectable text rather than scans. Their complete teaching content and examples also appear on the corresponding HTML page. The resource catalogue links to all five activities.
Document limitations
The PDFs have not been certified as PDF/UA documents and are not claimed to have fully verified assistive-technology tagging. Complex card or worksheet layouts may read differently in different PDF software. Prefer the HTML version when reading order or document navigation is important, and use the reuse permission to make an appropriate accessible classroom version.
This edition has not been tested with every screen reader, device or browser. Browser and automated checks can identify some problems; they do not replace testing by people with different access needs. No claim of complete WCAG conformance is made.
Practical adaptations
- Enlarge the HTML text or print only the section needed for a lesson.
- Read a fictional scenario aloud before asking for a response.
- Use one vocabulary card or one reasoning step at a time.
- Offer oral answers, paired discussion or a teacher scribe where appropriate.
- Keep the reasoning task while reducing unnecessary copying or writing.
These are options for a teacher to consider, not a diagnosis or a promise that one adaptation suits every learner.
Reporting a difficulty
The contact page explains the current contact arrangements. A useful report identifies the page or PDF, the task you were trying to complete, the problem and the device or assistive software involved. Do not include pupil names, completed work or private school information.
