Accessibility

Designed to be used, not just viewed.

A Foundation built for people with cognitive disabilities should begin with its own website. Accessibility is part of the design, not an add-on.

What we have built in

Every page uses semantic headings and landmarks, so screen readers and keyboard users can move through content in a logical order.
A skip-to-content link is the first focusable element on every page.
All interactive elements are reachable by keyboard, with a visible focus indicator.
Body text is set at 18 pixels with generous line height, and text can be enlarged in the browser without losing content.
Colors were chosen for strong contrast: deep teal and charcoal on warm ivory, with dark text on light surfaces.
Images include descriptive alternative text; decorative marks are hidden from assistive technology.
Every form field has a persistent visible label, inline error messages tied to the field, and a success message shown only after a submission is saved.
Animation is limited to quiet color and border transitions, and motion is reduced automatically when the visitor's system asks for it.
There is no autoplay video, no flashing content, and no carousel that moves on its own.

What still needs manual review

The site is built toward WCAG 2.2 AA practices, but we do not claim certification or verified compliance. Automated checks cannot confirm everything, and testing with real assistive technology by people with lived experience is still to come.

Areas that still need a person to confirm them include: how the forms behave with screen readers and voice control, how the site reads at very high zoom levels, and how long-form pages feel to someone who uses a cognitive accessibility aid.

If something does not work for you, that is a problem with the site, not with you. We would like to know about it.

Report a barrier

Tell us the page and what happened. You can also ask for information in another format — for example a plain-language summary by email.
