Assistive Technology Compatibility Notes
Screen Readers (e.g., NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) Our website is designed to work seamlessly with screen readers. We provide appropriate alt text for images, structured headings, and clear navigation to ensure an effective screen reader experience.
Screen Magnifiers Users can adjust font sizes and zoom levels on our website to improve readability. We have ensured that zooming does not break the layout or functionality.
Keyboard Navigation Our website can be fully navigated using the keyboard, providing access to all features and content without requiring a mouse.
Speech Recognition Software While we haven't specifically tested our site with all speech recognition software, our focus on keyboard navigation and semantic HTML should facilitate usability with these tools.

Exceptions

While we strive to make all content accessible, there may be instances where older archived content or third-party plugins are not fully compliant with accessibility standards. We are actively working to address these issues.
