Accessibility Issue: All-Caps Button Text

I am currently developing an accessibility-focused course, so it MUST meet accessibility standards. One issue I’ve identified is the use of all caps on buttons, which is not accessible. I can change this for the "Start Course" button; however, in other components, such as button stacks, the text appears locked in all caps.

Is there a way to modify this so the button text uses standard capitalization?

    I posted this on your other comment about the button color too, but just in case! I agree with you that all caps can be difficult to read and are not a best practice and are, in general, bad for accessibility, WCAG doesn't have any specific guidance about them. As long as they aren't littered all over your course I think you'll be ok!: https://www.boia.org/blog/all-caps-headings-are-they-bad-for-accessibility
