Our goal
We want this website to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. Those are the guidelines most organizations use to make websites work for people with disabilities.
What we’ve done
- Text and buttons meet WCAG color contrast levels.
- You can reach every link, button and form with a keyboard, and you can see where you are on the page.
- Photos have text descriptions, and decorative icons are hidden from screen readers.
- Pages use clear headings and landmarks, and there’s a “Skip to content” link at the top of every page.
- Animations slow down or stop if your device is set to reduce motion.
- Links that open another website say so for screen reader users.
- We test pages with automated tools (axe) and by hand on phones and computers.
What we know isn’t perfect yet
- Facebook posts. Our Facebook feed only loads if you choose to show it. Once it does, it comes from Facebook, and we can’t control how accessible it is. You can always open our Facebook page directly instead.
- Other websites. We link to trusted organizations like the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Their pages are outside our control.
- Printable pages. Our Water Watcher card and home checklist are designed to print. If you need them in another format, let us know.
