Has anyone experienced using IXL with braille readers using braille
displays/screen readers? Particularly the math portion of IXL. It will read
the text, but doesn't indicate superscript etc just reads the number. I'm
assuming it is how the webpage is designed and that it wasn't designed with
accessibility in mind, but thought I would see if anyone else had
experience with this and how you have used IXL or what your work around was.

IXL is great and most of it is very accessible minus the graphs. Change your attributes in your talking software to read all characteristics
