Accessibility

The Standard We Work To

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 at Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium. Meeting WCAG 2.2 AA also meets the WCAG 2.1 AA level referenced by United States regulations.

Where We Stand Today

This site is new. It has been checked with automated tools and by keyboard. Testing with screen readers by people who use them daily is still to come, so we do not claim full conformance yet.

What We Do to Keep It Accessible

• Text and controls are checked for color contrast.
• Every control is a real HTML button, link or form field that works by keyboard.
• Images have text descriptions; illustrations are labeled as illustrations.
• The animation on the home page can be paused with a button, and it stays still when your device is set to reduce motion.
• Evidence labels always use words, never color alone.

Our web team, Need Greaters Global, is responsible for the design and code; Dr. Pradeep Albert is responsible for the writing.

Known Limitations

• Microscope images on the Science page: these are figures from published research, and their small labels and scale bars are part of the image, so they cannot be enlarged cleanly or read by a screen reader. In the meantime, each image has a written description and a caption that says what it shows, and the source article is linked.
• Audio overviews on the home page: the four short audio overviews are not recorded yet. In the meantime, the full transcript of each one is already on the page, under its player.

What This Site Works With

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. It uses HTML, WAI-ARIA, CSS and JavaScript, and the main content and the question form also work without JavaScript.
