Accessibility Statement
Directing Mastery Academy is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. We are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website to provide an inclusive and seamless experience for everyone.
Our Accessibility Goals
Our goal is to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which provides guidelines for making web content more accessible for people with disabilities. We strive to adhere to these standards in all aspects of our website design and development.
Accessibility Features
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality.
- Screen Reader Compatibility: We have implemented semantic HTML and ARIA attributes to ensure compatibility with screen readers. Screen reader users can easily navigate and understand the content on our website.
- Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website include descriptive alternative text, providing context for users who are unable to see the images.
- Color Contrast: We have carefully chosen color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision to read the content.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings, accommodating users with visual impairments.
- Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website features a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they need.
- Forms Accessibility: All forms on our website are designed to be accessible, with clear labels and instructions for each field. We provide appropriate error messages and suggestions to help users complete the forms successfully.
- Video Accessibility: We strive to provide captions and transcripts for all video content on our website, making it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
- Audio Accessibility: We ensure that audio content is accompanied by transcripts or alternative text descriptions, making it accessible to users who are visually impaired.
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for screen readers and other assistive technologies to understand the layout and organization of our website.
- ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements on our website.
Specific Accessibility Implementations
We have implemented several specific accessibility measures to improve the user experience for people with disabilities. These include:
- Skip Navigation Link: A "Skip to Content" link is provided at the top of each page, allowing users to bypass the navigation menu and jump directly to the main content.
- Focus Indicators: Clear focus indicators are provided for all interactive elements, making it easy for keyboard users to see which element is currently selected.
- Descriptive Link Text: We use descriptive link text that accurately reflects the destination of each link, helping users understand where they will be taken when they click on a link.
- Accessible Tables: Tables are structured using semantic HTML elements and include captions and scope attributes to make them accessible to screen reader users.
