Digital Accessibility

Digital accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to websites, digital tools and technologies, by people with disabilities.

We are committed to an inclusive community, striving to ensure that our technology is accessible to individuals with auditory, cognitive, neurological, physical, speech, and visual disabilities is one way we act on that commitment.  When you click on the icon in the upper right hand corner of your screen there will be options to view the website that might be helpful such as a screen reader, highlighting or larger font capabilities.  Through these actions, we believe all members of our community benefit.
