We strive to ensure that our website is inclusive and meets website accessibility guidelines. These guidelines help to ensure the website is easier to use and more accessible for people with disabilities.

Accessibility Status and Standards

The National Center for Disability, Equity, and Intersectionality continues its efforts to constantly improve the accessibility of its site and services in the belief that it is our collective moral obligation to allow seamless, accessible, and unhindered use for those of us with disabilities.
Therefore:

  1. We have hired a Certified Accessibility Specialist to perform a website audit.
  2. The standard of compliance we work to meet is Section 508. We extended the criteria to include WCAG 2.1 Level A + AA + AAA.
  3. To achieve and maintain this level of accessibility commitment we work with our Certified Accessibility Specialist who advises us on the areas in need of improvement and remediation.
  4. We do not use accessibility overlays or widgets.
  5. We are aware that some third-party applications that may be used with this website may not be accessible. Should we not be able to remediate them to meet our accessibility standards, we will provide the status within this accessibility statement.
