We make every effort to ensure we comply with online usability and design requirements recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in its Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.
We regularly test our sites to ensure we meet or exceed that standard, and we consistently look for improvements in performance, speed, and accessibility.
Software Recommendations and Settings
We follow W3C's globally recognized standards to provide content that is compatible with computer-based assistive technologies and browsers. We recommend using the most current versions of the manufacturer's assistive technology applications, along with current versions of browsers.
Additionally, we support screen magnification technologies and accessibility features - like zoom, color, and other image controls - that major browsers provide.
We don't provide assistive technology applications or browsers. Please visit the individual manufacturer's site for information about how to obtain them.
Steps We've Taken to Improve Accessibility
Here are some of the items we've addressed to make our sites are as easy to use as possible for all of our users:
Site Structure
We're worked to include appropriate headings, lists, paragraphs, and other formatting features for improved usability with assistive technology.
Text Equivalents
For users who can't see images or hear audio, we've been working to ensure all of our images and multimedia have alternative text, captions, and transcripts to interact with on our sites.
Full Keyboard Access
We're developing new pages with keyboard accessibility in mind so that users can easily tab through a page to find the content they need.
Site Consistency
Our sites are built on consistent templates to
ensure consistency; that way, once you're familiar with how our pages and menus work, you can expect similar functionality across each site, each time you visit.
