Accessibility Standards
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines outline best practices for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.
Where appropriate, we also implement Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) specifications to enhance compatibility with assistive technologies such as screen readers.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We regularly review our website to identify and address potential accessibility barriers and work with designers, developers, and content creators to improve accessibility features over time.
Despite our best efforts, some content may not yet be fully accessible. We appreciate your patience as we continue to enhance the Site.
