We are fully committed to ensuring that our website and digital platforms provide an inclusive and accessible experience for all users, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and applicable state accessibility laws, including the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD). We continually review and enhance the accessibility of our digital content to meet or exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.
Use of Assistive Technologies
For individuals with visual impairments, we recommend the use of screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, or other recognized assistive technologies. These tools provide a comprehensive user experience for navigating our site, and are compatible with the accessibility features we have implemented.
To ensure compatibility and ease of access, please ensure that:
-
Your screen reader is up to date.
-
Your browser supports accessibility features, including keyboard navigation and zoom functionalities.
Accessibility Features
In line with our commitment to accessible content, we have implemented the following key features across our digital platforms:
-
Text Alternatives: All non-text content, including images and graphics, are provided with descriptive alt text or suitable alternatives.
-
Keyboard Navigation: Users can fully navigate our website using a keyboard alone, with logical tab order and visible focus states.
-
Structured Content: We use ARIA landmarks and roles to define the page structure and ensure that interactive elements are clearly identified by screen readers.
-
Audio Descriptions and Captions: Multimedia content is provided with captions and audio descriptions where necessary.
-
High Contrast and Text Scaling: We ensure a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for text, and all content can be resized by up to 200% without loss of functionality.
Legal Assurance of Accessibility Efforts
We take our legal obligations seriously. While we have made every effort to conform to relevant laws and standards, we recognize that accessibility is a dynamic process. We perform routine audits and testing of our websites using both automated tools (e.g., WAVE, Axe) and manual methods, including real-user testing with assistive technologies like JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. Our goal is to ensure ongoing compliance with:
-
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Specifically, ADA Title III, which requires public-facing websites to be accessible to users with disabilities(ADA.gov)(Accessible.org).
-
New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD): We are compliant with the state’s broader protection laws ensuring accessibility for disabled individuals across all public-facing content(ADA.gov).
