  "textContent": "Hello everyone,\n\nI am an Assistive Technology Instructor working with a client who is blind and uses VoiceOver on a MacBook Pro. We are trying to determine whether anyone has successfully used Pearson MyLab Math with VoiceOver and, if so, what workflow or settings were required.\n\nThe course is accessed through Canvas and launches into Pearson MyLab Math. We are encountering several accessibility barriers:\n\nVoiceOver can navigate to answer fields.\nVoiceOver can locate portions of the page and some controls.\nMathematical equations and problem statements are often not read correctly or cannot be reliably interacted with.\nUsing VO+Shift+Down Arrow to interact with the equation area does not consistently expose the math content.\nThe student can sometimes reach the answer box but cannot efficiently access or review the actual question.\nNavigation often requires moving through numerous links and page elements before reaching course content.\n\nWe have contacted Pearson Support and received general VoiceOver documentation, accessibility mode instructions, and an accessibility contact email. However, we have not yet received guidance specific to using VoiceOver with MyLab Math.\n\nI am hoping to hear from anyone who has:\n\nSuccessfully completed a Pearson MyLab Math course using VoiceOver on macOS.\nFound a preferred browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc.).\nUsed specific VoiceOver commands or settings that improved math accessibility.\nWorked with MathML, accessibility mode, or other settings that improved equation access.\nIdentified workarounds for accessing problem statements and equations.\n\nAny advice, resources, demonstrations, or training materials would be greatly appreciated.\n\nThank you for your help.",
