Why Accessibility Compliance Matters
Achieving compliance with these standards is crucial for ensuring that our website is usable by everyone, including individuals with various disabilities. Here's what each standard involves:
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG): These guidelines help ensure that web content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. They provide a framework for creating accessible web content and are integral to our commitment to inclusivity.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): The ADA mandates that public entities and businesses provide equal access to their services and facilities. By adhering to ADA standards, we ensure that our digital content is accessible to individuals with disabilities, thus promoting equal opportunities in education.
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act: This federal law requires that electronic and information technology developed, procured, maintained, or used by federal agencies be accessible to people with disabilities. Compliance with Section 508 means our website is compatible with assistive technologies and accessible to users with disabilities.
California Unruh Civil Rights Act: This state law ensures that all individuals, regardless of disability, are entitled to full and equal access to all business establishments. By meeting Unruh standards, we affirm our commitment to providing accessible educational resources to all members of our community.
