Accessibility Statement

Northwest Tri-County Intermediate Unit 5 (IU5) is committed to providing a website and digital resources that are accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to ensure an inclusive online experience and continuously improve the accessibility and usability of our digital content in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and recognized accessibility standards.

 

IU5 is committed to meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which provide internationally recognized standards for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities. These guidelines help ensure that digital content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users, including those who rely on assistive technologies.

 

To support accessibility, IU5 incorporates a variety of design and development practices throughout our website and digital resources, including:

• Clear, consistent navigation and page structure
• Meaningful alternative text for images
• Proper heading structure to support screen reader navigation
• Sufficient color contrast for improved readability
• Accessible forms with clear labels and error identification
• Keyboard-accessible navigation where applicable
• Responsive design to support a variety of devices and screen size

Our website is designed to be compatible with commonly used assistive technologies, including:

• Screen readers
• Screen magnification software
• Speech recognition software
• Alternative input devices

We regularly evaluate our website to help ensure compatibility with current browsers and assistive technologies.

 

Third-Party Content

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. IU5 continually reviews, updates, and improves its website and digital content to enhance accessibility and usability. Although we strive to ensure all content meets applicable accessibility standards, some legacy content or third-party materials may not yet fully conform. We are actively working to identify and address these issues.

 

We welcome your feedback regarding the accessibility of our website and digital resources. If you encounter an accessibility barrier, experience difficulty accessing information, or need content in an alternative format, please contact us. We are committed to responding promptly and providing reasonable accommodations whenever possible.
