Accessibility

Our goal for this website is to provide information and access to services to all visitors. We understand that not everyone experiences web content the same way. Some have impaired vision, hearing, ability to use a mouse, or other disability. As part of our commitment to universal access, we make it a priority to take these differences into account by organizing our site and presenting our content in ways that are usable by visitors with disabilities and the assistive technologies they rely on.

User Tips and Tools

Your Internet user experience is shaped by more than just the design and content features built into the sites you visit. You also have available a growing number of alternative settings in your computer’s operating system and browser that can improve the clarity and accessibility of any site you visit. For example, many operating systems and browsers offer settings to change background colors, increase contrast, increase text and icon size, choose a preferred font, magnify your computer screen, and activate a screen reader that lets you listen to content you are unable to read.

Accessibility Settings for Our Site

PDF Documents

Our site content may include PDF documents that we or other sources have created. Most older PDFs, as well as many newer ones, are not compatible with screen-reader technology. Our goal is to reduce and eventually eliminate PDF content that is not recognizable by most screen-readers. Until we reach that goal, if you find one of these documents and would like to have access to its contents, we will assist you. Please use our Feedback and Questions form to request assistance.
