Our Commitment to Accessibility
At HOSA McMaster, we are dedicated to making our website accessible to individuals with disabilities. We strive to ensure that all visitors, regardless of their abilities, can access and enjoy our site.
What is Web Accessibility?
Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to websites, by people with disabilities. It ensures that individuals with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive impairments can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web.
Our Website's Accessibility Enhancements
We have taken measures to align our website with WCAG [2.0 / 2.1 / 2.2 - select relevant option] guidelines, striving for a level of [A / AA / AAA - select relevant option] accessibility. Our site is designed to be compatible with assistive technologies such as screen readers and supports keyboard navigation. Our efforts include:
- • Utilizing the Accessibility Wizard to identify and address potential accessibility issues
• Setting the language of the site
• Establishing clear and logical heading structures across all pages
• Providing descriptive alternative text for images
• Implementing color combinations that meet required contrast standards
• Minimizing the use of motion
• Ensuring accessibility of all videos, audio, and downloadable files
