Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!
Hi Nicole!
Sorry to hear you've hit this snag, but I'd be happy to help!
I saw your previous post where you mention being on build 3.73.30119.0. Earlier this week we released Storyline version 3.74.30180.0. With that update we saw a fix for:

To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You can find our step-by-step instructions here!
After that, we'd recommend testing with JAWS again to see if your buttons/states are now being recognized by the screen reader.
Please let me know if you have any more questions!
