General

We strive to ensure that our services are accessible to people with disabilities. We have invested a significant amount of resources to help ensure that our website is easier to use and more accessible for people with disabilities, with the strong belief that every person has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort and independence.

Accessibility & Language Translation

This website has been designed with the accessibility guidelines in mind, specifically we work to comply with ADA and Section 508 requirements as well as WCAG 2.0/2.1 and AA compliance levels.

We have added an Accessibility widget, which is software that allows us to improve our compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Using the widget, users are able to easily switch text into their preferred language, such as Spanish.

The accessibility menu can be enabled by clicking the accessibility menu icon that appears floating on the bottom right corner of the page.

Disclaimer

We continue our efforts to constantly improve the accessibility of this website and our services in the belief that it is our collective moral obligation to allow seamless, accessible and unhindered use also for those of us with disabilities.

In an ongoing effort to continually improve and remediate accessibility issues, we also regularly scan our websites with UserWay’s Accessibility Scanner to identify and fix every possible accessibility barrier on our site.
