Accessibility

Ambitious about Autism is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and adhering to many of the available standards and guidelines.

Guidelines and standards

This website aims to conform to level Double-A of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user friendly for all people.

This site has been built using code compliant with W3C standards for HTML and CSS. The site displays correctly in current browsers and using standards compliant HTML/CSS code means any future browsers will also display it correctly.

Our content

All website content has been created and formatted to make it accessible. For example:

  • headings highlight sections of text
  • sentences are short with the meaning at the beginning
  • links use meaningful text
  • forms can be navigated using the tab key
  • all images used in this site include ALT attributes.

ReciteMe accessibility toolbar

Our website includes the ReciteMe accessibility toolbar, which provides a range of tools to help everyone access our content. You can adjust text size, font type, and colours, highlight links and headings, or even use text-to-speech and translation features. These features are designed to make our site more inclusive and easier to use for people with visual, cognitive, or reading difficulties. 

Click the accessibility tools button at the top of the page to activate it.

Exceptions

Whilst Ambitious about Autism strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.
