Accessibility

Our commitment

We're parent volunteers, and we want this site to work for everyone in our community — including folks who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, screen magnification, or other assistive tech. Accessibility isn't an afterthought here; it's something we design and build for from the start.

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. That's a widely used standard for making web content accessible.

What we do

• A “Skip to content” link so keyboard users can jump past the menu.
• Semantic page structure (real headings, landmarks, and lists) so screen readers can navigate.
• Visible focus outlines so you can always see where you are when using a keyboard.
• Color combinations chosen to meet AA contrast, so text stays readable.
• Respect for the “reduce motion” setting — animations are minimized if your device asks for it.
• Descriptive text alternatives for meaningful images.
• A mobile-first, responsive layout that works on phones, tablets, and desktops, and supports browser zoom.

Known limitations

We're honest about where we're not perfect yet:

• Donations and store checkout happen on Stripe's pages, which we don't control; Stripe maintains its own accessibility.
• Some older documents linked from the site (for example PDFs) may not be fully accessible. Ask us and we'll provide the information another way.
• Content is added by volunteers, so an occasional image may be missing a description or a heading may be out of order. Tell us and we'll fix it.

Tell us about a problem

If you run into a barrier on this site, please let us know — your report helps us fix it and helps the next person. Email info@ortegapto.org with the page address and a short description of the problem, and we'll respond as soon as we can. If you need information that's posted on the site in a different format, we're glad to provide it.
