Accessibility Statement

Our Accessibility Goals

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including:

What We've Done

We have implemented the following accessibility features on our website:

• Semantic HTML: Proper use of heading hierarchy (H1–H3), landmark regions (nav, main, footer), and structured lists for screen readers.
• Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements (links, buttons, form fields) are accessible and operable via keyboard alone.
• Alt text: All informational images include descriptive alt text. Decorative images use empty alt attributes.
• Color contrast: Text and background color combinations meet or exceed WCAG AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text).
• Focus indicators: Visible focus outlines on interactive elements for keyboard users.
• Responsive design: The website adapts to all screen sizes, including mobile devices and tablets.
• Skip navigation: Main content skip links to help keyboard and screen reader users bypass repetitive navigation.
• ARIA labels: Buttons and links that don't have descriptive text include ARIA labels (e.g., icon-only social links).
• Form labels: All form inputs are associated with descriptive labels.
• No reliance on color alone: Information is not conveyed by color alone; we use text labels and icons alongside color coding.

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some areas of our website may not yet meet all WCAG 2.1 AA criteria. Known limitations include:

• Some older PDF documents (if any) may not be fully accessible to screen readers. We are working to remediate these.
• Third-party embedded content (maps, social media widgets) may not fully comply with accessibility standards, as these are outside our direct control.
• Some complex interactive components may benefit from improved ARIA patterns — these are being refined.

We are actively working to identify and address these gaps. If you encounter a barrier, please let us know.

Assistive Technologies We Support

Our website is designed to be compatible with common assistive technologies, including:
