Support every learner, with Pearson’s accessible learning solutions
Our mission is simple: to help people make progress in their lives through learning. Because wherever learning flourishes, so do people. We'll only be successful when our educational materials are accessible to all users, and we’ve long been committed to providing access to learners with disabilities. That commitment is woven into the fabric of our learning materials, development processes, innovation efforts, employee culture, and partnerships.
We’re proud to have been recognized as a Benetech Global Certified Accessible™ (GCA) publisher. The first third-party EPUB certification program to verify eBook accessibility. (Learn more about this achievement, and our new partnership with Benetech.)
Accessibility in MyLab and Mastering
Pearson’s Faculty Advisors recently led best practice webinars for our two leading learning platforms, exploring accessibility features designed to help more learners succeed. (We invite you to watch the recorded webinars: MyLab or Mastering.)
In most MyLab products, students need to turn on Accessibility Mode and choose options once. After they do, all MyLab site pages work with common screen magnifiers and keyboard accessibility shortcuts, and contrast-optimize most features for access by vision-impaired students. MyLab’s Accessibility Mode works with all student pages, including Calendar, Homework and Tests, Results, Announcements, and Study Plan. As you create homework and tests in MyLab, Skill Builder makes it easy to filter for only accessible question items, and to extend testing time for individual students.
You’ll find much more about how we’re delivering accessibility here, including a detailed roadmap. The Pearson Disability Support team can provide more accessibility details about any Pearson product. If you ever have questions, or if a Pearson product isn’t meeting your expectations, please reach out – it’s important.
