Accessibility Statement

Effective October 15, 2026. Brigade Management, Inc. ("Baccare," "we," "us").

1. Our commitment

Brigade Management, Inc. builds Baccare so that children and parents can use it whatever their abilities and whatever device or assistive technology they use. We treat an accessibility barrier as a defect to fix, not a feature request.

2. What this statement covers

• baccare.com: the public pages, the free Learn activities (quizzes and learning games), and the Free Play games.
• app.baccare.com: the signed-in app, and Child mode, where a parent hands the device to one child.
• teach.baccare.com and brief.baccare.com: our information pages for teachers and partners.

The iPhone and Android apps show app.baccare.com inside a native app. We have not evaluated them separately.

3. Our target and where we are

We aim to conform to WCAG 2.2 at Level AA, which also covers WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Today Baccare partially conforms: many parts meet the standard, and the parts listed in section 5 do not yet. This is our own assessment. Baccare holds no accessibility certification, and no outside organization has audited it.

4. What works today

• Keyboard. Menus, forms, quizzes, the Free Play arcade games, Fact Race, and dialogs work with a keyboard alone. Every link, button and field shows a clear focus ring. Every page on baccare.com starts with a "Skip to content" link that jumps past the menu, and marks its main content for screen readers; the app has both too. The pinned menu bar on baccare.com leaves room so it does not cover the item that has keyboard focus. In order and sort questions, each card has a letter, and each group has its own "Put in" button, so cards can be placed without dragging.
• Feedback you can hear. Whether a quiz answer is right or wrong is announced to screen readers, and so are Fact Race feedback and game prompts. In order and sort questions, each card is marked correct or not correct in words, not by color alone. After an answer, focus moves to the next question or to the results, so a keyboard or screen reader user is not left at the top of the page.
• No rush. Practice and Learn activities have no time limit, and Learn games offer modes with no clock. Parents can turn on untimed practice for a child. Fact Race offers a relaxed clock ten times longer and can be paused. Arcade games have no clock and can be paused.
• Less motion. Baccare follows your device's "reduce motion" setting, and the home page carousel has a Pause button.
• Zoom and small screens. Text can be enlarged to 200%. On the pages we tested, content fits a screen 320 pixels wide (about the same as 400% zoom on a typical laptop screen) without sideways scrolling, and wide tables scroll inside their own area that a keyboard can reach.
• Easy to read and tap. Text meets the color contrast the standard asks for on the pages we tested. Links inside text are underlined. Buttons and links are large enough to tap, and touch screens get larger targets.
• Speak instead of type or tap. In the signed-in app, practice questions have a microphone button, Say your answer, in browsers with built-in speech recognition (Chrome, Edge and Safari). To protect children's privacy, it is not offered on the free practice pages of baccare.com, where a child may be using Baccare without a parent's account. On a typed answer, the words fill the answer box so they can be checked first. On multiple choice, saying the letter (or the answer) picks out that choice, and saying it again, "yes" or "sí" answers. It is not yet offered in the iPhone and Android apps.
• Help for readers. Parents can turn on "Read it to me," "One step at a time," and other learning preferences for each child.
• Forms. Every field has a label, errors are described in words with a way to fix them and the message receives focus so it is read out, and sign-in works with password managers, with pasting, and with an emailed sign-in link instead of a password.
• Sound. Sounds are short effects, and games have a sound switch.
• Consistent layout. Menus stay in the same place, and the contact link is in the same place in the footer of every page.
• Cookie notice. The cookie notice at the bottom of the page is a labeled region with a real button, reachable by keyboard, and it adds room under the page so it never covers content.

5. Known issues

These are the places where Baccare does not yet meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA, or where we have not yet checked:

• Screen readers have not been tested. We built and checked Baccare with automated tools and code review, but have not yet tested it with NVDA or VoiceOver. Some things may not be announced the way they should be. Some confirmation messages in the app, in particular, have not been checked.
• Free Play arcade games need sight. The six arcade games are fast, visual games. Their prompt and score are available as text, but the moving targets are not, so they cannot be played without sight. The same skills are practiced in the Learn activities, which work with standard page controls.
• Letter keys in arcade games. On an arcade game page, the W, A, S and D keys steer and P pauses, and there is not yet a way to turn those letter keys off. The arrow keys and Escape also work.
• Light borders. Some field and card borders are light lavender on white and do not stand out enough.
• Correct answers shown by color. In multiple-choice quizzes, the correct option is also shown with a green background. The spoken and written feedback names it, but the option itself is not otherwise marked. (Order and sort questions now mark each card in words.)
• Math game feedback. In some math games, a right or wrong answer is signaled by a sound and a color change, and is not yet also announced in words to screen readers.
• Field-level errors. On sign-in and contact forms, an error is described in a message that receives focus, but the field with the problem is not yet marked as invalid for screen readers.
• Some learning games. A few learning games with moving or drag-style targets have not been checked with a keyboard.
• Decorative animations. A few decorative animations on the Free Play cards have no pause control; they stop only when your device's reduce-motion setting is on.
• Text spacing. We have not tested every page with increased letter, word and line spacing.
• Pictures and Spanish. We have not yet reviewed the text descriptions of every illustrated practice question one by one, or checked that every Spanish word across all activities is marked as Spanish.
• Phones and tablets. We tested phone-sized screens in a desktop browser, not yet on physical iPhone and Android devices.

6. What we are doing about it

1. Testing with the NVDA and VoiceOver screen readers, then updating this statement and our conformance report.
2. Announcing right and wrong answers in words in the math games, and marking the field with the problem on forms.
3. Adding a switch to turn off the letter keys in the arcade games.
4. Strengthening the borders on fields and cards.
5. Adding a pause control for the decorative Free Play card animations.
6. Reviewing the text descriptions on illustrated practice questions, and the marking of Spanish words.

We do not give dates for these here. When one is done, we will update this page.

7. How we checked

This statement rests on a self-assessment by Brigade Management, Inc., completed October 2, 2026, and repeated on October 15, 2026 for the pages changed since then (the home page, course pages, practice activities, lessons, sign-in and contact forms, the cookie notice, teach.baccare.com and brief.baccare.com). It included:

• automated testing against the WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 Level A and AA rules, at desktop and phone widths, which found no violations: on October 2, with axe-core 4.13, on every app page in parent mode and Child mode and on the main pages of baccare.com; and on October 15, with axe-core 4.14, on the changed pages listed above;
• keyboard-only testing of a quiz, an arcade game, Fact Race, the home page carousel, dialogs, and the parent check;
• phone-width testing of every site and app page in a desktop browser's phone emulation;
• browser zoom, narrow-screen reflow, and the operating system's reduce-motion setting on representative pages; and
• a review of the code for form labels, announcements, and focus handling.

We check again when we change a page, and we review this statement whenever we update our conformance report, and at least once a year.

8. Tell us about a barrier

If anything on Baccare does not work for you or your child, please tell us through the contact form (choose "General question"). It helps to include:

• the page or activity;
• what you were trying to do and what happened; and
• the device, browser, and any assistive technology you use.

We aim to reply within five business days. If you need something from Baccare in a different format, such as a printable or a page's text in a more accessible form, ask through the same form and we will work with you to provide it. You can also write to Brigade Management, Inc., 3400 Coit Rd. #262084, Plano, TX 75026.

9. For schools and districts

An Accessibility Conformance Report for Baccare (WCAG 2.2 edition, based on the ITI VPAT® 2.5 template) is available on request through the contact form (choose "Classroom or co-op pricing"). It is our own assessment, not a certification. We will work with a school on any barrier its students or staff report. Our School Data Addendum covers how we handle school data. VPAT® is a registered service mark of the Information Technology Industry Council.
