Our Brief

Foothills Academy is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. As an agency that has been advocating for the rights of neurodiverse learners for more than four decades, Foothills Academy wants everyone to feel that they are valued and that they recognize those differences, even in something as small as their website experience.

Foothills Academy works with students and families of a wide range of ages, and abilities, and who may speak different languages, making digital inclusion and accessibility particularly important.

Our Solution

To continue to be a wrap-around service for individuals with Learning Disabilities/ADHD and their families, Foothills Academy implemented the Recite Me Toolbar on their website to provide accessible resources to all learners, regardless of disabilities, learning difficulties, and language barriers.

Recite Me assistive technology includes screen reading functionality, multiple reading aids, customizable styling options, and an on-demand live translation feature that boasts over 100 languages, 65 of which can be read aloud.

“Individuals are no longer limited to how they can access and process our information – we have ensured that the content is easy to process for anyone. One size does not fit all, so neither should their experience when visiting the Foothills website. Recite Me has enabled folks to access information in the best way that works for them.”
