Accessibility

Goals

This Web site strives to ensure that its design meets or exceeds the accessibility requirements outlined in Section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Site Design Guidelines

We strive to meet or exceed accessibility requirements in the following areas:

Images. This Web site provides equivalent text for images that convey information.
Multimedia. This Web site limits the use of multimedia (i.e., presentations that include components such as text, graphics, video, animation, and sound), and, where multimedia is used, the site provides equivalent text for the presentation.
Color. This Web site does not rely on color to convey information.
Style sheets. This Web site does not require associated style sheets (i.e., pre-designated templates that define the layout of a Web page) to be viewed.
Image maps. This Web site provides equivalent text for images (e.g., navigation bars) that perform functions when selected (e.g., open a new window, navigate through the site).
Tables. This Web site provides row and column headers for data tables.
Frames. This Web site does not include frames (i.e., separate sections of the display area that are generated from different Web pages).
Motion. This Web site sites does not include motion that causes the screen to flicker outside an acceptable range (i.e., higher than 2Hz and lower than 55Hz).
Text-only pages. A text-only equivalent web page will be provided when a compliance cannot be accomplished in any other way.
Scripts. This Web site identifies the functionality of any scripting languages (e.g., Java and Javascript) used to display content or to create interface elements.
Applets and plug-ins. This Web site avoids the use of applets (i.e., programs designed to be executed from within another program) and plug-ins (i.e., programs that add features to a standard browser), and, when such programs are used, the site includes links to external Web sites that provide such applets or plug-ins via download.
Forms. This Web site allows for easy access to and completion of forms.
