[Athen] Accessibility of Modern Campus CMS

[Deborah Armstrong via athen-list]

Our college uses this content management system for our website.
Here is one university's explanation of this software:
About Omni CMS | Modern Campus CMS Support Site<https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/ousupport/about/>
Just in case you are wondering what I'm talking about.
I am blind and know HTML. We have a ton of people working on our website, but currently parts of the site that our print-impaired students are expected to reference are not that accessible.
I've been trying to explain this to the various folks who have made changes, but they just click on things and don't know anything about HTML or web accessibility at all.
For example, they keep using headings when they want to make text larger, and they are using clickable elements rather than links. And if you click on one of them, more text appears on the page, sort of like menus that expand and collapse. But, there's no indication to the screen reader user that more text has appeared.
Plus they embed videos that play automatically which is extremely annoying.
Meanwhile, I kind of want to just go in there and fix things, but if the CMS itself is not accessible, I probably cannot do that.
If anyone knows of a screen reader user working with this CMS, I'd love to be in contact with them. I currently have not requested access to the CMS, but I'm sure they'd be happy to give me access.
