Welcome to the UWSM Accessibility Statement. We are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. Our goal is to provide an inclusive online experience and make it easier for all individuals to access the information and resources available on our site.
ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
This statement reflects our ongoing efforts to enhance the accessibility of our website and services. We strive to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to ensure that our platform is accessible to individuals with diverse abilities.
What web accessibility is
Web accessibility refers to the practice of ensuring that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web. It involves making adjustments to websites and web tools so that they are accessible to all users, including those with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.
Accessibility adjustments on this site
At UWSM, we have implemented various measures to enhance the accessibility of our website. We have followed the WCAG guidelines and have made our site conform to the level of AA compliance. Our efforts include optimizing the site for assistive technologies, such as screen readers, and making content more accessible for keyboard users.
- Our accessibility enhancements encompass a wide range of improvements, including utilizing the Accessibility Wizard to identify and address potential accessibility issues, providing clear heading structures, adding descriptive alternative text to images, and ensuring compatibility with assistive technologies.
