K-12 Education

The span of publicly supported education from kindergarten through 12th grade (approximately ages 5-18), encompassing primary and secondary schooling. In accessibility contexts, K-12 education is a critical focus area because accessible learning tools, curricula, and teacher training must be in place early to ensure students with disabilities develop foundational skills alongside their peers. Research highlights significant gaps in accessible K-12 computing education, with teachers of students with visual impairments often lacking both appropriate tools and adequate CS training to deliver equitable programming instruction.
