Accessibility Resources

Have you ever zoomed in closely to read a text that was too small?
Have you ever dictated a text message instead of typing it?
Have you ever read the closed captioning as you watched a movie?

If so, you have benefitted from accessibility! Broken down, accessibility literally means the “ability” to “access.” It creates an even playing field for all individuals regardless of disabilities or circumstances. At CAC, we value equity in education and strive to partner with parents to provide resources that will support your student throughout his or her academic career.

Many options are available for students who need technological assistance in the learning process, including speech-to-text, text-to-speech, text magnification, closed-captioning and more. Below are commonly used resources that may aid students at CAC. If you don’t see a specific accessibility feature that would benefit your student, please reach out to us for additional assistance.

The mission of CAC is to “partner with parents to provide a distinctively Christian education that inspires excellence, independence and a transforming faith in God.”

We look forward to partnering with you as we encourage excellence and independence through accessibility services available for all.
