We strive to make our digital and physical spaces usable by the widest possible audience.

We aim to:

  • Ensure website navigation is compatible with screen readers and keyboard access.

  • We regularly test and update our website to improve accessibility and respond to user feedback.

For in-person services or community programs, we make every effort to accommodate accessibility needs, including:

  • Support for mobility, hearing, or vision limitations.

  • Accessible transportation options when available.

  • Alternative communication or assistance during visits.

If a specific accessibility need arises, we work directly with clients or caregivers to develop individualized solutions.

We believe accessibility is achieved through collaboration, and we welcome open dialogue to ensure everyone can fully participate.
