How ACT Worked With Fable To Make Exams More Accessible


ACT is a nonprofit organization helping learners achieve education and workplace success. ACT serves more than 10 million people in 125 countries each year. ACT wanted to offer an online version of the ACT test,  the pre-eminent college entrance exam in the United States, that was compatible with assistive technologies commonly used by people with disabilities. They partnered with Fable to connect with assistive technology users quickly and easily. Fable’s feedback was instrumental in every decision they made. The testing they were able to do with Fable laid the foundation for the more challenging accessibility decisions they made along the way. That direct feedback, based on lived experience, empowered ACT to challenge assumptions in the assessment industry about what is and is not best for users with accessibility requirements.
