Accessibility Statement

9 Lessons — Becoming Better Ancestors is committed to making this website accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We design, build, and maintain 9lessons.org so that every visitor — including those using assistive technologies — can engage with the lessons and resources we publish.

Conformance target

This website is designed to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, the technical standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the standard most commonly referenced in U.S. and international accessibility law, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

Current conformance status

9lessons.org is substantially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. “Substantially conformant” means the site meets the standard on its core code and content, with only minor refinements remaining. We will update this statement as any further fixes are deployed.

Ongoing improvements

We continuously review the accessibility of 9lessons.org. Areas currently under ongoing review include:

·       Refinement of image alt-text on the Lessons page to ensure descriptions complement rather than duplicate surrounding text.
