Digital Accessibility

We incorporate website accessibility standards into the design and maintenance of our website to ensure accessibility for all people regardless of ability or method of access.

What are we doing with accessibility?

To help us make our website a positive place for everyone, we've been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user-friendly for everyone. The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA) and we’ve chosen Level AA as the target for our website.

How are we doing with accessibility?

We've worked hard on our website and believe we've achieved our goal of WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility. We monitor the website regularly to maintain this goal. If you do find any problems, please contact us by our Digital Accessibility Complaint Form or calling us at (814)-949-2524.

Please provide the following:

• Your Name
