Accessibility Statement

We advise the District on accessibility. Our own website should hold to the same standard.

Our commitment

The Multimodal Accessibility Advisory Council is committed to making this website usable by everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, screen magnification, or other assistive technology. Accessibility is not an add-on to our work — it is our work.

Standards we follow

This site is built to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, and reaches Level AAA where practical. In building it we have aimed to ensure:

  • Text and background colors meet or exceed WCAG AA contrast ratios, with a large, resizable base type size.
  • Every page works with the keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator and a “skip to main content” link.
  • Pages use semantic HTML landmarks and a logical heading structure for screen-reader navigation.
  • Images that convey meaning have descriptive text alternatives; decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
  • The site is responsive and remains usable when zoomed or viewed on small screens.
  • Motion is minimal and respects the operating-system “reduce motion” preference.
  • The site functions without JavaScript; scripting only enhances the mobile menu.

Meeting accessibility

MAAC meetings provide ASL interpretation and a phone dial-in option. If you need another accommodation to take part — materials in advance, captioning, or an alternative format — contact us before the meeting and we will arrange it. See the Meetings page for details.

Found a barrier?

If any part of this website is difficult to use, or you need information here in a different format, please tell us. Email info@maacdc.org with the subject “Website accessibility feedback” and describe the problem and the page it’s on. We treat accessibility reports as a priority and will respond as quickly as we can.
