Sangar Studio Access Flow

Sangar Studio Access Flow is not a generic WCAG accessibility overlay. It is a cognitive adaptation layer designed specifically for people with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, anxiety and sensory overload.

Unlike traditional accessibility plugins that offer static controls (font size sliders, contrast, big cursor), Access Flow combines preconfigured neurodivergent profiles, proactive behavioral adaptation and reading transformations like Bionic Reading and Reading Ruler that the target audience recognizes immediately.

Philosophy

• Does not promise WCAG legal compliance on its own.
• Speaks in human language (“How do you prefer to read today?”), not clinical.
• Lets the user describe how they are, not what disability they have.
• Honors prefers-reduced-motion and the system’s forced-colors mode.

Main features

• Neurodivergent profiles: The user picks how they prefer to read today (ADHD / Dyslexia / Autism / Sensory sensitivity) and the optimal mode combination is enabled automatically.
• Behavioral UX Engine: Detects erratic scrolling and frustration clicks in real time and proactively suggests Focus Mode when cognitive overload is detected.
• Focus Mode: Dims sidebars, banners, popups, ads and iframes detected automatically for the active theme (Astra, GeneratePress, OceanWP, Storefront, Divi) and through admin-configurable custom selectors.
• Bionic Reading: Bolds the prefix of each word in the main content so the eye anchors faster, reducing reading fatigue. Especially effective for ADHD and dyslexia. Fully reversible.
• Reading Ruler: A horizontal band that follows the cursor or finger, guiding the reading line and preventing line skipping.
• Dyslexia Reading: Adapted typography (OpenDyslexic / Comic Sans MS), increased line height, letter spacing and word spacing. Excludes icons, code and SVG so they are not broken.
• Calm Interface: Disables animations, reduces saturation and applies a warm tint to mitigate sensory overload.
• Smart Content Simplifier: Summarizes the main content of the page using OpenAI (gpt-4o-mini) in plain language, short sentences and lists. Hourly cache to save quota.
• Customizable identity: Primary color, icon color, border color and position (left or right) configurable from the admin so the widget integrates with the site’s brand.

Accessibility of the widget itself

• role="dialog" + aria-modal="true" + aria-labelledby + focus trap.
• Full keyboard navigation: Tab / Shift+Tab inside the panel, Escape to close.
• aria-pressed on mode buttons, aria-busy during requests.
• :focus-visible with an amber outline on all controls.
• Honors prefers-reduced-motion and forced-colors (Windows high contrast).
• The widget is not dimmed by Calm Mode so its contrast stays intact.

External services

This plugin can connect to OpenAI to generate AI-powered summaries of the current page content. This service is only used when the site administrator provides an OpenAI API key in the plugin settings and the visitor explicitly clicks the “Summarize this page” button in the floating widget. If no API key is configured, or the feature is disabled in settings, no request to OpenAI is ever made.

What the service is and what it is used for

OpenAI provides the Chat Completions API. The plugin uses the model gpt-4o-mini (configurable via the accessflow_openai_model filter) to generate a plain-language summary of the article the visitor is reading, formatted with short sentences and bullet lists to improve readability for users with cognitive overload, ADHD or dyslexia.

What data is sent and when

When a visitor clicks the “Summarize this page” button, the plugin extracts up to the first 3000 characters of plain text from the <main> (or <article>, or <body> as fallback) element of the current page and sends it to https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions, together with the site’s OpenAI API key in the Authorization header. No personal data, IP address, cookies, user identifiers or browsing history are sent. The text payload is cached server-side (WordPress transient) for one hour, keyed by hash, so identical requests do not re-hit the API.

No data is sent to OpenAI on page load, on visitor identification, in the background or for analytics. The request happens only on explicit user action.
