About the Digital Accessibility Community of Practice

• 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. has a disability.
• People with vision impairments need text that’s easy to read and screen-reader friendly.
• People with motor disabilities often rely on keyboards or voice commands instead of a mouse.
• People with cognitive disabilities need clear layouts and simple navigation.
• Sites with flashing content and moving graphics can cause migraines or even seizures for some people. 

We believe that web accessibility is not optional — it’s essential. We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to help businesses and organizations create content that everyone can use.

By making your website accessible, you are helping real people — neighbors, family, potential customers, students, and users — navigate the digital world more easily.

Federal laws require all public, online content shared by the State of Connecticut, and everyone else who receives federal funding, to meet the accessibility requirements defined in WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
