Accessibility Statement

Accessibility Statement

AACRAO is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We work to ensure that our digital content and services are usable by all visitors, including individuals who rely on assistive technologies. This Accessibility Statement describes our approach to accessibility, our conformance goal, and how to request support or report an issue.

Accessibility standard and conformance goal

AACRAO is working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. WCAG is an internationally recognized set of recommendations for improving web accessibility for people with disabilities.

Measures to support accessibility

To support accessibility and continuous improvement, AACRAO may:

• Incorporate accessibility considerations into design, development, and content workflows
• Use automated and manual evaluation methods to identify and address issues
• Provide guidance and training for staff and contributors who publish web content
• Prioritize remediation of accessibility barriers that affect core user tasks and key content

Conformance status

The AACRAO website is intended to conform to WCAG 2.2 AA. While we strive to meet this standard across all pages and content, some content or functionality may not yet fully conform. We are actively working to identify and resolve accessibility gaps.

Known limitations and alternatives

Some accessibility limitations may occur due to:

• Legacy content or documents (including PDFs) that were created before current accessibility practices were adopted
• Third-party platforms or embedded content that AACRAO does not fully control
• Content contributed by external partners or event vendors

If you encounter barriers, AACRAO will make reasonable efforts to provide an accessible alternative, such as an accessible document version, structured HTML content, or assistance completing a task.

Assistive technology and browser compatibility

AACRAO aims to support accessibility across modern browsers and common assistive technologies. Accessibility can vary by device, browser, and assistive technology configuration. We encourage users to keep browsers and assistive technologies up to date for the best experience.

Feedback and contact information

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of the AACRAO website. If you experience difficulty accessing content, encounter an accessibility barrier, or want to request an accommodation, please contact us and include:

• The nature of the issue and the assistive technology (if any) you are using
