Help for Physical and Neurodivergent Needs

Use the Accessibility Widget to adjust the platform to your physical, learning or neurodivergent needs.

Overview

At Deeper Signals, we believe your abilities, not external barriers, should determine your performance. That's why we're committed to making our assessments accessible to everyone.

If you have a physical disability, chronic health condition, learning difference or neurodivergent traits, you can use the Accessibility Widget to customize your experience. The widget supports accessibility standards such as WCAG, ADA and EAA.
