The Senior Soup is committed to providing a website accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities.
We strive to ensure that our website meets the standards and guidelines set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other relevant legislation.
ADA Accessibility Features
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
Our website adheres to the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, outlining best practices for making web content more accessible.
We continuously work to maintain and improve the accessibility of our website to ensure that it is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users.
Assistive Technologies
We support using assistive technologies like:
- Screen readers
- Speech recognition software
- Keyboard navigation.
Our website is designed to be compatible with these tools, allowing users with disabilities to access the content seamlessly.
Alternative Text and Descriptions
We provide alternative text (alt text) and descriptive captions for all relevant images and media on our website. This enables individuals using assistive technologies to understand the visual elements presented.
Clear and Consistent Layout
We maintain a clear and consistent layout throughout our website, making it easier for users to navigate and find the information they need.
This includes logical heading structures, consistent navigation menus, and appropriate use of colors and contrast for readability.
Keyboard Accessibility
Our website is fully navigable using only a keyboard.
Users who cannot use a mouse or other pointing devices can rely on keyboard navigation to access all interactive elements and navigate through the site.
Forms and Interactive Elements
We have implemented accessible forms and interactive elements, ensuring they are appropriately labeled and operable with assistive technologies.
This enables users with disabilities to interact with our website’s features and functionalities effectively.
