Live display controls

Use these on this page or the sliders control in the header. Changes apply immediately.

Becca is built to WCAG 2.2 Level AA as a design target. This page is both a statement and a live control surface. It is not a certified audit, and we do not claim conformance.

Why these controls exist

Adults 30 and over completing a long self-report of autistic and ADHD traits are often doing so under sensory load, executive-function load, and camouflaging fatigue. Display settings are not decoration. They are there so the score reflects traits rather than the cost of using the form.

Visual hypersensitivity and photophobia are common in autism (DSM-5-TR restricted/repetitive criterion B4). That is why Calm lowers contrast instead of only offering High. ADHD and autistic attention both benefit from reducing competing chrome: one-item mode shows a single Likert group. Neither setting changes scoring.

Readable type follows British Dyslexia Association spacing guidance (more letter-spacing, looser leading, a more open sans). It is a reading aid. It is not a dyslexia screen, and it does not alter item wording.

Keyboard

Every control is reachable from the keyboard. Tab order follows the visual reading order. Focus is always visible. There are no keyboard traps. A skip link moves focus to the main landmark at #content.

Each Likert group is one tab stop. Arrow keys and Home/End move within the five-point scale. Keys 0–4 set Never through Very often when that group is focused. Those character shortcuts can be turned off in Display and access, which is the WCAG 2.1.4 requirement.

Likert scale

Each protocol item is a radiogroup named by the question text. Options are buttons with radio semantics so a screen reader announces the group, the current choice, and the five-point range. Hit targets are at least 44 by 44 pixels, or 48 when larger targets are on. Childhood items also offer “Cannot recall”.

Contrast and colour

Default is a dark editorial theme. High is near-black / near-white for low vision and for prefers-contrast: more. Calm is a lower-contrast dark field for visual hypersensitivity. Paper is a warm light page. Accent is never the only cue for state. We aim for AA on text, icons, and focus indicators. We do not claim AAA.

Motion

Short colour and width transitions exist for selection and progress. Follow system respects prefers-reduced-motion. Reduce forces those animations off. Allow restores them even if the operating system asks to reduce. Nothing essential is conveyed by motion alone. There is no autoplay audio or video and no flashing content.

Screen readers

Pages use a single h1, then h2 section headings in source order. Form controls and radiogroups have accessible names. Decorative marks are hidden from the accessibility tree. Progress uses a progressbar with a numeric value. Density bars use meter. The domain radar is a decorative SVG; the same numbers are in a data table for assistive technology and as bars elsewhere on the report.

Known limits

• Items about camouflaging, figurative social language, and inner restlessness may still be hard to parse even when the controls themselves are accessible. Literal wording is used where we can; the constructs are not always literal.
• There is no separate large-print edition, no sign-language edition, and no simplified-language mode beyond readable type and extra spacing.
• We do not claim AAA contrast, AAA reading level, or a certified WCAG audit.

Alternative formats

A completed report can be printed from the browser or downloaded as Markdown or PDF from the results page. Use those files if the visual report is not usable.

Language and data

Becca is available in English and Spanish. The document language follows the language you choose. Display settings are stored on this device under a separate key from answers. Erasing protocol data does not reset display settings.

Clinical care

Accessible display is not accessible clinical care. Becca is a psychoeducational self-screen, not a diagnosis, not a medical device, and not a substitute for a clinician who can observe you, take a developmental history, and work in the language and format you need.
