Accessibility Statement

AlaCOMP aims to conform to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 (WCAG 2.2) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with visual, hearing, mobility, cognitive, and other disabilities.

The AlaCOMP website uses technologies designed to improve accessibility and provide visitors with options for adjusting the user interface to their needs.

AlaCOMP also uses accessiBe’s accessWidget, which applies accessibility adjustments to the website’s HTML and supports screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

To report an accessibility barrier or request assistance, please contact AlaCOMP or call 1-888-661-7119.

The AlaCOMP website uses ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes and other behavioral adjustments to support visitors who use screen readers. When a screen-reader user visits the AlaCOMP website, accessWidget provides a prompt to activate the Screen-Reader Profile. Here is how the website addresses key screen-reader requirements:

1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media and search icons); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. 
   
   Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
   
   These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
   
2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.
   
   Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing the focus to drift outside.
   
   Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

• Epilepsy Safe Profile: this profile enables people with epilepsy to safely use the website by eliminating the risk of seizures resulting from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
• Vision Impaired Profile: this profile adjusts the website so that it is accessible to the majority of visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
• Cognitive Disability Profile: this profile provides various assistive features to help users with cognitive disabilities such as Autism, Dyslexia, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements more easily.
• ADHD Friendly Profile: this profile significantly reduces distractions and noise to help people with ADHD, and Neurodevelopmental disorders browse, read, and focus on the essential elements more easily.
• Blind Users Profile (Screen-readers): this profile adjusts the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is installed on the blind user’s computer, and this site is compatible with it.
• Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

1. Font adjustments – users can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds with over seven different coloring options.
3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize essential elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
6. Additional functions – we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

AlaCOMP aims to support current versions of major browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge, along with commonly used assistive technologies such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. Accessibility may vary by browser, operating system, and assistive technology configuration.

AlaCOMP continually reviews and improves the accessibility of this website. Some pages or features may still present barriers or may be undergoing improvements. To report a problem or request information in an alternative format, please contact AlaCOMP or call 1-888-661-7119.
