Overview
At Deeper Signals, we believe your abilities — not external barriers — should determine your performance. We are committed to making our assessments accessible to everyone.
Individuals with physical disabilities, chronic health conditions, learning differences, or neurodivergent traits can use the Accessibility Widget to customize their browsing experience according to their individual needs.
