Web Accessibility

Accessibility

Accessibility extends website ease-of-use to people with disabilities, whether they have poor eyesight, trouble using a mouse or touch surface, or other impairments. Accessibility speaks to discrimination and civil rights, and thus has major ethical and legal importance.

As a recipient of federal financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Education, 萝莉视频 is subject to federal legislation that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. Therefore, 萝莉视频 follows a policy of website accessibility.

According to federal law, for a website to be “accessible,” any person with a disability must be able to acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services as a person without a disability, in an equally effective and equally integrated manner, with substantially equivalent ease of use.

Types of disabilities covered include:

Blind, low vision, color-blind
Deaf, hard of hearing
Deafblind
Motor / dexterity disabilities
Speech disabilities
Cognitive / learning disabilities
Reading disabilities
Seizures
Multiple disabilities

Assistive technologies and practices exist to help people with disabilities use the Web. Examples include text-to-speech screen readers, screen magnifiers, voice control, speech recognition, video transcripts and captions, etc.

A poorly-designed, non-accessible website can defeat these assistive technologies, and thereby discriminate against people with disabilities. Accessibility not only makes sites work better for people with disabilities, but usually makes sites work better for all users.

The Marketing & Communications Department’s Web team works to increase the accessibility of our websites and it is the responsibility of all website content contributors as well, not just to comply with the law, but because it’s the right thing to do.

Document accessibility (PDF, Word)

It is always best to start with an accessible Word document and convert it to an accessible PDF.

If documents are too difficult or time-consuming to remediate, you may have to outsource the job to a company specializing in document accessibility.
