Accessibility Statement

Our commitment to ensuring technology, learning resources, and services are open, navigable, and fully independent for visually impaired individuals globally.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Blind Tech Community is committed to ensuring that our digital resources align with the highest accessibility standards. We are pleased to state that our website is **fully conformant** with the **WCAG 2.2 Level AA** guidelines.

Key Accessibility Features

To provide a seamless browsing experience for visually impaired users, the website integrates the following accessibility measures directly into its codebase:

  • Semantic HTML Structure: Structured with explicit landmark roles (main, nav, footer) to simplify screen reader navigation.
  • Focus Management: Highly visible focus indicators with outlines around all interactive elements during keyboard navigation.
  • Keyboard Controls & Focus Trap: Slide-out menus and custom dialog overlays feature a strict keyboard focus loop and dismiss automatically on pressing Escape.
  • Descriptive ARIA Labels: Every link, input, and icon button contains descriptive text labels specifically tailored for screen readers.
  • Skip Navigation Link: A skip link allows screen readers and keyboard users to skip the header navigation menu and jump straight to the main page content.
  • Aesthetic Contrast: Contrast ratios that exceed WCAG AA requirements in both light and dark themes.

Compatible Assistive Technologies

Our website is designed to cooperate smoothly with standard assistive applications. Taught and verified by screen reader users, the website operates seamlessly with the following combinations:

  • NVDA screen reader (Windows) with Firefox or Google Chrome
