Last updated: October 2025
Commitment to Accessibility
We are committed to making our website accessible and usable by everyone, including individuals with disabilities. Our goal is to provide an inclusive online experience that allows all visitors to access our information and services easily, regardless of ability or technology.
We view accessibility as an ongoing effort and are continually working toward improving the usability and accessibility of our website in accordance with best practices and recognized standards such as the WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
Ongoing Efforts and Measures
We are actively reviewing and enhancing our website to remove barriers and improve accessibility. Our efforts include, but are not limited to:
- Keyboard navigation across menus, buttons, and forms
- Text alternatives for images and non-text content
- Readable contrast between text and background
- Consistent structure with clear headings and landmarks
- Accessible forms with proper labels and instructions
- Captions/transcripts or alternatives for multimedia where possible
- Responsive design supporting zoom and text resizing
- Avoiding color-only indicators for critical information
- Regular review using tools like WAVE, axe, and Lighthouse
Accessibility Standards and Testing
Our accessibility efforts are guided by the principles outlined in the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. While we may not yet be fully compliant with every guideline, we are actively working toward achieving substantial conformance. We use a combination of automated scanning tools, browser extensions, and manual checks to help identify accessibility issues and guide our improvement roadmap.
Third-Party Content and Integrations
Our website may contain links to or features from third-party providers (such as video embeds, social media widgets, or payment processors). We cannot control the accessibility of third-party content, but we encourage these vendors to offer inclusive and accessible digital experiences. If you encounter accessibility barriers while interacting with third-party components, please let us know so we can communicate with those providers or suggest alternative access methods.
