Commitment to Inclusive Access
We design every page so people with disabilities can easily perceive, understand, and interact with our content. This resource collects tips to make your own vocational rehabilitation tools accessible.
WCAG Compliance
All resources should meet at least WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Provide semantic headings, keyboard-friendly navigation, and sufficient color contrast.
Document & Media Accessibility
Images require descriptive alt text. Videos should include captions and audio descriptions. PDFs must be tagged for screen reader compatibility and text transcripts should be supplied for audio-only files.
Keyboard Navigation & Focus Management
Ensure every interactive control can be reached using the keyboard alone. Maintain a logical focus order and provide clear focus styles so users always know where they are on the page.
Assistive Technology Support
- Use semantic HTML elements so screen readers can announce content correctly.
- Provide ARIA labels for custom widgets and buttons.
- Ensure forms and navigation work with voice control and switch devices.
Incorporating feedback from people with a wide range of disabilities is essential. Conduct usability testing with screen readers, magnifiers, and alternative input devices to uncover real-world barriers.
