VS Code for Education has many features to help make the editor accessible to all users. Zoom and High Contrast colors improve editor visibility, keyboard-only navigation allows use without a mouse, and the editor has been optimized for screen readers.

We support a High Contrast color theme. Use **File \> Preferences \> Theme \> Color Theme** (Ctrl+K Ctrl+T) to display the Select Color Theme dropdown and select the High Contrast theme.
