Accessibility Statement

Effective: June 1, 2026 · Last updated: June 1, 2026

Our commitment

At Movement Theory, accessibility is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time checkbox. We want every dancer, every parent, and every visitor to be able to use our website and our iOS app — regardless of how they see, hear, move, or process information.

We design and build Movement Theory with the goal of conforming to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, the international consensus standard for digital accessibility. We also follow Apple’s iOS Human Interface Guidelines and accessibility best practices so the App works well with VoiceOver, Voice Control, Switch Control, Dynamic Type, Smart Invert, Reduce Motion, and other system-level accessibility features.

What this statement covers

This statement applies to:

• The Movement Theory iOS application distributed through the Apple App Store (the “App”);
• The Movement Theory website at movementtheory.app and any subdomains we operate (the “Site”).

It does not cover third-party services we link to or integrate with (the Apple App Store, payment processing, our AI provider, our database provider, our subscription manager, the Open Food Facts product database). Their accessibility is governed by their own policies.

Conformance target

Standard: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 — Level AA.

Current conformance status: Partially conformant.

“Partially conformant” means that some parts of the Services do not yet fully meet the standard. Most user-facing surfaces meet or exceed WCAG 2.2 Level AA, but a small number of areas are still being improved — see Known limitations below.

We re-test against WCAG 2.2 at every significant release and update this statement when our conformance status changes.

Accessibility features in the iOS app

The App is designed to work with the assistive technologies built into iOS, including:

• VoiceOver — every primary control has a meaningful accessibility label; image-based illustrations include descriptive labels; SwiftUI semantic roles are used so the screen reader announces buttons, headings, and lists correctly.
• Dynamic Type — text scales with the system text-size setting, including the larger accessibility sizes; layouts reflow rather than truncating.
• Bold Text and Reduce Transparency — supported via system tokens.
• Reduce Motion — decorative animations (e.g., chart transitions, progress fills, celebratory confetti) are shortened or disabled when Reduce Motion is on.
• Color and contrast — text and essential interface elements meet WCAG 2.2 AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and essential graphics). The app’s color palette is checked against contrast tooling on every release.
• Color is not the only signal — pass/fail, “weak area,” and award levels are conveyed by icon, label, and color so users with color-vision differences can still parse them.
• Touch-target size — primary tappable elements meet or exceed the 44×44 pt Apple Human Interface Guidelines minimum.
• Voice Control / Switch Control — interactive elements have stable accessibility identifiers and reachable focus order.
• Smart Invert and Dark Mode — supported; photos, video previews, and brand assets are excluded from inversion.
• Captions and transcripts — the App does not currently include narrated workout video content. When narrated workouts ship, we will provide on-screen captions and update this statement at that time.
• Alternative inputs — keyboard and Bluetooth-keyboard navigation are supported across the App.
• No flashing content — the App contains no content that flashes more than three times in a second, in accordance with WCAG 2.3.1.

Accessibility features on the website

The Site is built to:

• Use semantic HTML (headings, lists, landmarks) so screen readers can navigate it efficiently;
• Provide a visible skip-to-main-content link at the top of every page;
• Maintain visible focus indicators on every interactive element;
• Meet WCAG 2.2 AA color-contrast ratios;
• Offer alt text for informative images and aria-label / aria-hidden attributes where appropriate;
• Support full keyboard navigation without trapping focus;
• Use responsive design that works from 320-pixel viewports upward and scales without loss of information up to 400% zoom;
• Honor the prefers-reduced-motion media query;
• Provide form labels associated with inputs and clear error messages.

Known limitations

We’re honest about the gaps. As of the date above, the following areas are not yet at our target conformance level:

• Workout video captions. No narrated workout video library has shipped yet, so there is no current captions gap. Captions and transcripts will be added before any narrated workout content is released.
• Color in charts. Some charts (Progress Report) use color in addition to label and icon, but we are working to improve patterns and on-hover/long-press alternative text so the data is accessible without color.
• Independent audit. We have not yet completed an independent third-party accessibility audit. We plan to scope one and will update this statement when it is scheduled.
• Comprehensive screen-reader testing. We test on VoiceOver (iOS) and VoiceOver (macOS) for the Site. Testing across NVDA, JAWS, and TalkBack is in progress.
• Embedded third-party content. Where we surface content from third parties (for example, public Open Food Facts product names), that content may not meet our accessibility standards. We are working with our providers and prefer providers with strong accessibility commitments.

How we test

We use a combination of:

• Automated tools — Lighthouse, axe DevTools, and WAVE for the Site; Apple’s Accessibility Inspector for the App;
• Manual checks — keyboard-only navigation, screen-reader smoke tests, contrast spot-checks, Reduce Motion verification, Dynamic Type at the largest accessibility size;
• User feedback — accessibility reports submitted to us;
• Third-party audit (planned) — we will update this statement when one is scheduled.

This statement was last reviewed on May 24, 2026 based on a self-evaluation against WCAG 2.2 AA.

Feedback and support

If you encounter any accessibility barrier — anything that prevents you from using the App or the Site, or that makes it harder than it should be — we want to hear from you. Please tell us:

• By email: [email protected]
• By postal mail: Movement Theory Labs LLC, 5510 NW 38th Terrace, Coconut Creek, FL 33073, Attn: Accessibility
• Through general support: [email protected]

When you contact us, please include:

• A description of the barrier;
• The page URL or App screen where it occurred;
• The device, operating system, browser (if the Site), and any assistive technology you were using;
• Any screenshots or recordings that help us reproduce the problem.

Response target: We aim to acknowledge accessibility feedback within two (2) business days and to provide a substantive response within five (5) business days. Where a fix is not immediate, we will tell you the expected timeline and offer an accessible alternative wherever possible.

Formal complaints

If you are not satisfied with our response and you believe the Services discriminate against you on the basis of disability, you may file a formal complaint with:

• U.S. Department of Justice — Civil Rights Division: https://www.ada.gov/file-a-complaint/
• The Attorney General of the state in which you reside, for state-level disability and consumer-protection complaints;
• In the United Kingdom: the Equality and Human Rights Commission (https://www.equalityhumanrights.com) or the Equality Advisory and Support Service;
• In the European Union: the supervisory authority for accessibility in your member state under the European Accessibility Act.

We hope you will contact us first so we can try to make it right.

Compatibility statement

The Services are designed to be compatible with current and recent versions of:

• iOS: iOS 26.2 and later (the App’s minimum supported version is iOS 26.2);
• Browsers (for the Site): the latest two stable versions of Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox on desktop and mobile;
• Assistive technology: VoiceOver on iOS and macOS; Voice Control; Switch Control; Dynamic Type at all sizes; major desktop screen readers (NVDA, JAWS) on the Site.

We do not support outdated or unsupported browsers and operating systems.

Continuous improvement

Accessibility work is never “done.” We treat accessibility as part of every release — design reviews include accessibility checks, code reviews flag missing labels and contrast issues, and we revisit this statement on every significant release and at least annually.

Thank you for helping us make Movement Theory work for every dancer.
