Match the explicit barrier to a concrete repair. Do not claim one support ensures access for every learner.
About 22 minutes, plus any extended practice
Supplied materials
- Paper and pencil, or a browser text area. All named people/events/records are fictional learning inputs.
- Worked case: Excerpt A: Plan: name the frame and hinge, then explain how folding lets the panels move. Excerpt B: Need: show where and how the folded strip connects the panels. Excerpt C: Problem: the diagram alone contains essential information that cannot be understood by listeners who cannot see it. Excerpt D: At the transition from mechanism to results, the speaker rushes and listeners miss the limit.
- Primary check: Excerpt A: Plan: recommend longer trials, then give reasons and counts supporting that proposal. Excerpt B: Need: compare the recorded bend counts of models A and B. Excerpt C: Problem: text is tiny gray type on a pale gray background. Excerpt D: The speaker faces the wall and speaks too quietly to be heard in the back row.

Different barriers need different access supports. Describing visuals, readable text, written speech support and term definitions help different listeners and readers.
Match the explicit barrier to a concrete repair. Do not claim one support ensures access for every learner.
Original worked input: Original excerpt C: Problem: the diagram alone contains essential information that cannot be understood by listeners who cannot see it. The task is to recognize an accessibility repair. The answer is “explain a visual aloud”. Evidence: Problem: the diagram alone contains essential information that cannot be understood by listeners who cannot see it. Reasoning: explain a visual aloud is supported because spoken essential relationships make the silent image’s information available to listeners. A transcript does not fix tiny visual labels by itself.
- Read the supplied worked case and identify the part named in this lesson. An adult can model unfamiliar words.
- Match the explicit barrier to a concrete repair. Do not claim one support ensures access for every learner.
- Check the worked solution: explain a visual aloud. Evidence: Problem: the diagram alone contains essential information that cannot be understood by listeners who cannot see it. Reasoning: explain a visual aloud is supported because spoken essential relationships make the silent image’s information available to listeners. A transcript does not fix tiny visual labels by itself.
- Use the new primary and practice cases. Give a reason from the actual words before checking the feedback.

increase readable contrast and size
Evidence: Problem: text is tiny gray type on a pale gray background. Reasoning: increase readable contrast and size is supported because larger high-contrast text addresses the stated size and contrast barrier. A transcript does not fix tiny visual labels by itself.

Changed-input task: Original excerpt C: Problem: the audience is new to axle, a specialist word used without explanation. Give an evidence-based answer before looking at the model. Expected reasoning: Evidence: Problem: the audience is new to axle, a specialist word used without explanation. Reasoning: define an unfamiliar term is supported because a short definition supplies meaning missing for a new audience. A transcript does not fix tiny visual labels by itself. Then write a brief alternative sentence, paragraph, source note or scene that demonstrates the same operation; label new fictional details and preserve source limits.
