NACDD strives to ensure that its digital services are accessible to people with disabilities. We continue to invest in a web ecosystem that ensures access for all users, including people with disabilities, with the strong belief that every person has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort and independence.
Digital accessibility is an ongoing commitment that we carry in every aspect of our digital service delivery. We recognize that this requires continuous monitoring, improvement, and adaptation. In the sections below, we elaborate on the various efforts that have been undertaken to address our progress in ensuring digital accessibility for all.
A key element of our accessibility initiative is our engagement with a third-party accessibility consulting organization UserWay to help bring the website into conformance. We use industry standard accessibility methods and tools to accomplish this, in accordance with the relevant version of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) the Internet’s main international standards-setting organization.
Regular accessibility scans take place, powered by best of breed and scalable automation.
Known Limitations
Despite our best efforts, some limitations may exist (e.g. older PDF documents, third-party maps, or legacy video content). If you need an alternative format, please contact us via email.
