Our ongoing efforts include: 

  • Web pages run through a W3C compliant validators to monitor compliance with WCAG guidelines. 
  • Providing documents in accessible formats, including properly tagged PDFs 
  • Ensuring adequate color contrast and readable font sizes 
  • Adding alternative text to images and meaningful link descriptions
  • Structuring content with proper headings for screen reader compatibility
  • Testing our materials with assistive technologies 

We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing effort, not a one-time goal. As we publish new content and update existing materials, accessibility review is a standard part of that process.
