Accessibility statement

WORDSLAW is a storytelling program for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A guide about that work has to be usable by everyone, so accessibility is part of how this site is built rather than something added at the end.

What we aim for

We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 level AA.

What that means here

• Keyboard. Every link, button and control can be reached and used with a keyboard, and the item in focus is always outlined. A “Skip to main content” link is the first stop on every page.
• Screen readers. Pages use real headings in order, and every illustration and photograph carries a text description.
• Motion. Elements move gently as they come into view. If you prefer a still page, use the Reduce motion switch at the bottom of any page; the site also follows your device’s “reduce motion” setting automatically.
• Text. Text can be enlarged to 200% without breaking the layout, and the site works down to small phone screens.
• Color. Text and backgrounds are checked for contrast, and color is never the only way information is conveyed.

Where we fall short

Some of the templates the guide links to are Google Docs and Google Sheets. Those are hosted by Google and we do not control how accessible they are. If one of them is a barrier for you, tell us and we will send you the content in another format.
