<p class="MsoNormal">In my past experience looking at Qualtrics has a separate, but unequal model for supporting accessibility.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They have parallel version of the survey only for screen reader users, which uses a hidden link, and only SOME of their questions question types have accessible alternatives. Poor keyboard support and focus styling, the last time I checked
a few years ago.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unless something has changed recently, I would avoid Qualtrics<o:p></o:p></p>
