YuJa Launches Interactive Accessibility Comparison and Demo Tools to Support Institutions Following Supreme Court Disability Rights Ruling

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In light of the Supreme Court's ruling in Tharpe v. Osseo Area Schools, which affirms the right of individuals with disabilities to sue educational institutions for failing to accommodate their needs, higher education leaders are facing more pressure than ever to ensure accessibility across all aspects of the learning experience, including digital content.

YuJa, Inc., a leader in ed-tech solutions for accessibility, supports institutions in taking proactive, meaningful steps to meet students’ needs. Through the YuJa Panorama LMS Accessibility Platform, the company provides educational institutions with tools to identify, remediate, and improve the accessibility of digital course content.

“The Supreme Court’s decision reinforces that accessibility isn’t optional,” said Nathan Arora, Chief Executive Officer at YuJa, Inc. “Institutions have a legal and ethical responsibility to ensure students with disabilities are supported in the learning environment. YuJa Panorama was designed to help them do that in a sustainable and scalable way.”

YuJa Panorama integrates directly into learning management systems to scan course materials for accessibility issues, generate alternative accessible formats like audio, ePub, and high-contrast PDFs, and more, and provide dashboards and analytics that help instructors and administrators to make data-informed decisions.

Recent comparative analysis shows YuJa Panorama's accessibility checker outperforms other leading solutions, detecting critical issues that competitors miss across PDF documents, PowerPoint presentations, Word files, Excel spreadsheets, and HTML content. A newly launched Compare Page outlines YuJa Panorama’s advanced remediation capabilities compared to other platforms.

YuJa has also released an interactive tool that allows institutional leaders to try out alternative formats firsthand, demonstrating how accessible versions of content can benefit all learners. “We’re here to help institutions move beyond compliance and toward a culture of inclusion,” Arora said. “That means giving educators the insights and tools they need to meet learners where they are.”
