Accessibility Statement for Horizon Explorations

Horizon Explorations is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. We are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website to provide a seamless and inclusive experience for everyone.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, a set of internationally recognized standards for web accessibility. These guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.

Accessibility Features

To ensure that our website is accessible to all users, we have implemented the following features:

• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML tags to structure our content in a meaningful way, making it easier for assistive technologies to interpret and navigate.
• Alternative Text: All images and non-text content include descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the content and purpose of the image to users who cannot see it.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be navigated using a keyboard alone, without the need for a mouse. This allows users with motor impairments to easily access all content and functionality.
• Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations that provide sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision to read and comprehend the content.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website without losing content or functionality. This allows users with visual impairments to adjust the text size to their preference.
• Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website features a clear and consistent navigation structure that makes it easy for users to find the information they are looking for.
• Forms Accessibility: All form elements are properly labeled and accessible to users with disabilities, including those who use screen readers.
• Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website include captions and transcripts, making them accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, enhancing the accessibility of interactive elements and dynamic content.

Ongoing Efforts

We are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website. Our ongoing efforts include:

• Regularly auditing our website for accessibility issues using automated testing tools and manual reviews.
• Training our staff on web accessibility best practices.
• Working with accessibility consultants to identify and address accessibility barriers.
• Incorporating accessibility considerations into our design and development processes.
• Staying up-to-date with the latest accessibility standards and guidelines.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some accessibility issues may still exist on our website. We are aware of the following limitations and are working to address them:

• Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible. We are in the process of converting these documents to accessible formats.
• Certain third-party plugins and widgets may not be fully accessible. We are working with vendors to ensure that these components meet our accessibility standards.
