Ensuring equal access to digital content for users of all abilities

Accessibility Commitment

Hemophilia Outreach Center is committed to providing an accessible website experience for all users, including people of all abilities who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices.

Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility

Our website is guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1. These internationally recognized standards outline best practices for making web content usable and accessible to a wide range of users. Our goal is to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards wherever reasonably possible.

As we add new pages and features, our designs, code, and content are reviewed with accessibility in mind. Website accessibility is an ongoing process, and we regularly test our content and functionality for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance. When issues are identified, we work to correct them.

Testing is performed by our team using a variety of tools and methods, including the Accessibility Checker WordPress plugin, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation testing, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.

Accessibility Features on Our Website

To improve accessibility, we use Web Accessibility by accessiBe, which includes the following tools:

• Seizure Safe Profile, which reduces flashes and color intensity
• Vision Impaired Profiles, which enhance text size and contrast
• ADHD Friendly Profile, which helps reduce distractions and improve focus
• Cognitive Disability Profile, which assists with reading and comprehension
• Keyboard Navigation support for users who navigate without a mouse
• Screen Reader optimization for blind and low-vision users

Where We Are Improving

We are actively working to improve accessibility across our website, including:

• Adding descriptive alt text to images
• Updating buttons and links to be more descriptive and clear

These efforts are part of our ongoing commitment to making hemophiliaoutreach.org welcoming and usable for everyone.

Please note that while we strive to ensure accessibility on our own website, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party websites we may link to.

Note: External links will open in a new tab so visitors can easily return to our site.
