Last reviewed: May 18, 2026

What We've Done

• Keyboard navigation: Every interactive element — links, buttons, forms, the chat widget — works with keyboard only.
• Screen reader support: Semantic HTML, descriptive alt text on all images, ARIA landmarks, and a live-region chat for real-time announcements.
• Color contrast: All body text meets WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 or better).
• Touch targets: All interactive elements are at least 44x44 pixels for users on touch devices.
• Reduced motion: The site respects the operating system prefers-reduced-motion setting and disables animations accordingly.
• Zoom support: The site supports pinch-to-zoom and text scaling up to 200% without layout breaks.
• Skip navigation: A skip-to-content link is available to bypass repetitive navigation.
• Forms: All form inputs have clear labels, error messages, and don't trigger unexpected zoom on mobile Safari.

Known Limitations

We're continuously improving. Some areas we're still working on:

• Third-party embedded content (YouTube videos, PayPal checkout, Formspree forms) may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA in every respect. We're working with these providers and documenting alternatives where possible.
• PDF documents linked from the site (such as the Personal Release of Information form) may not be fully screen-reader compatible. If you need these documents in an alternative format, please contact us.
