If you’ve ever tried to apply Section 508 compliance standards to a video game, you know it’s like fitting a square peg into a round hole. These standards were built for static documents and websites – not dynamic, interactive experiences. For game developers building rich educational tools, that mismatch creates a serious problem.
That’s why we teamed up with AccessForge to publish a new whitepaper and host a live webinar that dives into the realities of 508 compliance for learning games, and how we can start doing better.
This whitepaper is designed for anyone working at the intersection of compliance, education, and game development. It outlines why applying legacy compliance standards to modern games prevents inclusive, engaging design. The report includes:
Whether you’re an edtech buyer, developer, or accessibility advocate, this resource offers a rare look into what compliance could look like if it were designed with games in mind.

Join our panel of accessibility experts as we explore what meaningful inclusion looks like in educational game design. You’ll hear from developers, auditors, and procurement professionals who are rethinking how accessibility is defined, tested, and implemented.
You’ll learn:
Reserve your spot and bring your questions!
At Filament, we’ve built more than 400 learning game projects, and accessibility is central to our process. But the tools and standards available to most teams weren’t designed for simulations, gameplay loops, or dynamic player agency. That’s a gap we’re working to close.
Games can (and should) be accessible to all learners. But that requires standards that recognize what games are actually doing.
Want to build inclusive learning games that go beyond the status quo? Whether you’re designing, testing, or procuring accessible edtech tools, we’d love to hear from you.
