Accessibility on Miracle Tree's Website
Miracle Tree's website (www.miracletree.org), hereby referred to as "the website", strives to ensure that its services are accessible to people with disabilities. The website has invested a significant amount of resources to help ensure that its website is made easier to use and more accessible for people with disabilities, with the strong belief that every person has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort and independence.
The website makes available the Accessibly App that is powered by a dedicated accessibility server. The software allows the website to improve its compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1).
Enabling the Accessibility Menu
Miracle Tree's Accessibility App uses the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defined requirements to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Accessibly App is following the best guidelines and is partially conformant with WCAG 2.0 level AA.
The website accessibility menu can be enabled by clicking the accessibility menu icon that appears on the corner of the page, or with keyboard navigation using the “tab” key (WCAG 2.1/2.1.1). After triggering the accessibility menu, please wait a moment for the accessibility menu to load in its entirety.
Below, please find our increased accessibility functionalities listed:
- Accessibly App features:
- Zoom | WCAG 2.1 / 1.4.4: This feature enables users to enhance the size of the text to up to three times the original text for better text readability.
- Bigger cursor: Makes the cursor bigger and more prominent. Increases the size for better site browsing.
- Invert colors: Invert the colors of the website content. For those with decreased vision, the high contrast greatly helps to read the site better.
