Accessibility Statement

1) Our accessibility goal

We are committed to providing an accessible experience on our website (painwithnoscars.org) so that all visitors, including those using assistive technologies, can access our content and services.

2) Standards we reference

We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA as our guiding standard. While we do not claim perfect compliance, we work continuously to identify and fix accessibility issues.

WCAG 2.1 provides recommendations for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

3) Accessibility features we support

We have implemented the following accessibility features:

• Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements can be accessed using a keyboard
• Readable text: We use sufficient color contrast and legible font sizes
• Meaningful headings: Content is organized with proper heading hierarchy
• Alternative text: Images include descriptive alt text for screen readers
• Skip links: Users can skip to main content
• Focus indicators: Visible focus states for interactive elements
• Semantic HTML: Proper use of HTML elements for meaning and structure
• Reduced motion: Respects user preferences for reduced motion

4) Known limitations

Despite our efforts, some areas may have accessibility limitations:

• Third-party embedded content: Videos, forms, or widgets from external services may not fully meet accessibility standards
• Older content: Some legacy content may not yet be fully accessible and is being reviewed
• PDF documents: Some downloadable documents may not be fully accessible; we can provide alternative formats upon request

We are actively working to address these limitations. If you encounter any issues, please let us know.

5) Third-party platforms

Our website may link to or integrate with third-party platforms (such as payment processors, social media, or e-commerce services). Accessibility on those platforms is managed by their respective providers and may vary. We encourage you to review their accessibility statements.
