Accessibility Statement

Overview

In short: We want everyone to be able to use AssistiveTechnologyNews.org. If something on this site does not work for you, tell us and we will fix it or get you the information another way.

AssistiveTechnologyNews.org is a division of The Accessibility Clinic® Inc. Because our work is about access, we hold this site to the same standard we recommend to others. This page explains what we aim for, what we have done, where the site still falls short, and how to tell us about a problem.

Our Standard

We aim for this site to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. WCAG is the international standard for accessible web content, and Level AA is the level most laws and policies refer to. We review new and updated pages for heading structure, link wording, color contrast, and keyboard access.

What We Have Done

Most pages use a clear heading structure, so people who use screen readers can move through them section by section. We are working to fix pages where headings skip a level or where bold text is used in place of a heading. Links we write describe where they lead instead of saying "click here." The colors we use for page text, buttons, and banners meet WCAG AA color contrast. Most long passages are broken into shorter paragraphs. We are working to make sure every part of the site can be used with a keyboard alone and with screen magnification.

Known Limitations

This site is built with Google Sites. Some parts of each page, such as the navigation menu, search, and some built-in controls, are provided by Google, and we cannot change how they work. Headlines on this site are gathered automatically from outside news sources and shown through a third-party feed service, so we cannot fully control how accessible the headline display is. Each headline links to its original publisher, and we do not control how accessible those articles are. Story images on topic pages are supplied by the original publishers and are treated as decorative, so screen readers skip them; each story's headline and summary carry its content. Some pages, such as our legal and policy pages, are written above a plain-language reading level. We are working to simplify them.

Report a Barrier

If you have trouble reading or using any part of this site, email info@accessibilityclinic.org. Please tell us the page you were on, what you were trying to do, and the device or assistive technology you were using, if any. If you need information from this site in another format, such as large print or a phone call, let us know and we will work with you to provide it.
