Accessibility - Michigan Alliance for Families

Accessibility Statement

Michigan Alliance for families is committed to making its website accessible to the widest possible audience. This website has been developed to comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, which was enacted to eliminate barriers to information technology, to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities and to encourage the development of new technologies to help achieve these goals. This law requires that all individuals with disabilities have access to information and data comparable to that which is available to individuals without disabilities.

MichiganAllianceForFamilies.org is regularly monitored to ensure that it meets the requirements of Section 508, along with the best practices outlined by the WC3’s (World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Accessibility Initiative), specifically WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) Level A Compliance. We are diligently working to reach and maintain a higher standard of accessibility, which is Level AA Compliance of WC3’s WCAG standards. Because technology changes rapidly this is an ongoing process.

If you experience any accessibility issues in relation to this website, please contact us. Let us know which page or item you need help with and we will provide a solution that works for you within a reasonable period of time. Questions, comments or complaints about accessibility on our website, videos or documents? Contact Jackie Igafo-Te’o (Web Accessibility Coordinator) at jackie@michiganallianceforfamilies.org. Please be sure to put “Web Accessibility” in the subject line. Thank you!

Accessibility options help all users, including those with disabilities, move around the Internet easier, see webpages more clearly, and access information quicker.
