    Hi JanetGuastav914

    Thanks so much for sending a copy of your course via Review 360! It's helpful to see your setup.

    When viewing your course I was able to successfully navigate throughout the course when using JAWS. Here are the steps I followed: 

    1. Once I reached the Tabs Interaction in the Glossary Lesson, I selected the tab key on my keyboard to bring me to the content included in first tab (Tab A Agreement Summary). 

    2. When the screen reader completed reading that text, to navigate back to the top list of tabs, I selected the shift and then the tab key to bring JAWS back up to Tab A. (Note: You'll want to be sure you don't press them both at the same time. One key right after the other will allow this functionality to work.)

    3. Once back at the tab headings, I used my right arrow key to navigate to the next tab and repeat for the remaining tabs.

    Here's a quick Peek where I walk you through this process

    I hope this helps!
