Accessibility Statement

The DBTAC: Pacific ADA Center is committed to ensuring that this Web site is accessible to everyone. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the accessibility of this site, please contact us, as we are continually striving to improve the experience for all visitors.

If for any reason you cannot access any of the material on our Web site, please contact us and we will work to resolve the problem.

Standards compliance

1. All Web pages validate as XHTML 1 Strict.
2. All pages use structured semantic markup. For instance, each page contains one Header 1 Level Tag, and any appropriate sub-level heading tags. All paragraphs are properly coded with paragraph tags.

Navigation aids

1. All pages on this site include a consistent set of global navigation links.
2. Each page requiring sub-pages contains a consistent set of sub-navigation links required for that material located in the right-hand side of the page. Additionally, the sub-navigation links and material appear at the bottom of the page content when style sheets are turned off.

Links

1. Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article).
2. Wherever possible, links are written to make sense out of context. Many browsers (such as JAWS, Home Page Reader, Lynx, and Opera) can extract the list of links on a page and allow the user to browse the list, separately from the page.
3. Link text is never duplicated; two links with the same link text always point to the same address.
4. There are no links that open new windows without warning.

Images

1. All content images used on this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include empty ALT attributes.

Visual design

This site and all its archives use cascading style sheets for visual layout.
