CALM works to ensure that its media is accessible to people who have visual, hearing, motor or cognitive impairments.
Accessibility is a partnership between site producers like us and the creators of the operating system, browser, and specialist assistive technologies which many disabled users employ to allow them, for example, to view websites in easier-to-read colours, with larger fonts, or as spoken text.
As such technologies have become more available and sophisticated, we will ensure that our media work well with these assistive technologies to ensure an accessible experience for disabled users.
www.thecalmzone.net conforms to W3C web standards. We’ve also ensured that the web site follows WAI Priority Level 1 accessibility guidelines. Here’s some ways in which the site is accessible:
Basic features
All images clearly labelled with alternative text.
Visual effects
No fast or distracting flickering of image content.
Forms
All form input elements clearly labelled.
Scaleable font sizes
Fonts can be enlarged within the browser, for users who require larger, legible text.
Site functions
The web site will function correctly without scripting or rich-media plug-ins. This means if you do not have Javascript or Adobe Flash turned on or installed, you will still be able to browse the content.
Usability
General browsing has been designed to be intuitive and easy to use for all users.
We are committed to improving the accessibility of the web site. Please contact us if there’s anything you would like to know or discuss.
