accessibility glitches in Workspaces

I am a blind computer user and I really enjoy the approach team TreeHouse employs. It appears however that workspaces are suffering from a number of accessibility glitches that make them hard to use for people who rely on a screenreader. Does anyone know if this problem has been encountered in the past, and how it was fixed, if at all? Would it be a problem if I just use my own IDE? Or would that not track with the website's awards system?

It is perfectly fine to use your own text editor or IDE for Treehouse courses. Doing so requires some additional setup that Workspaces doesn't require, but is also more flexible once it's set up.

Also, I want to tell you that I think it's awesome that you're learning web development despite having to overcome such challenges. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask them on here; there are always other students on here who are willing to answer your questions.

Good luck!
