Enhancing Accessibility: SCPDO's Partnership with accessiBe
At the South Carolina Partnership of Disability Organizations (SCPDO), our mission has always been to advocate for and support individuals with disabilities across our state. As part of this mission, we recognize the importance of making our digital spaces as inclusive and accessible as possible. That’s why we’re excited to announce our new partnership with accessiBe, a leader in web accessibility solutions.
Why Accessibility Matters
In today’s digital age, websites serve as a primary gateway to information, services, and opportunities. However, for many people with disabilities, navigating online spaces can be challenging due to barriers that make content difficult to access. At SCPDO, we believe that every person, regardless of ability, should have equal access to the information and resources we provide. Our partnership with accessiBe is a significant step toward achieving this goal.
Introducing accessiBe’s Accessibility Features
Thanks to accessiBe’s innovative technology, our website now offers a suite of accessibility features designed to meet the needs of users with various disabilities. Here’s what you can expect when you visit our site:
Screen Reader Compatibility: For visually impaired users, our website is fully compatible with screen readers, making it easier to navigate and interact with our content.
Keyboard Navigation: Individuals with motor impairments can easily access our site using keyboard shortcuts, ensuring a smooth browsing experience.
Color and Contrast Adjustments: Our website now includes options to adjust color schemes and contrast levels, making text and visuals more comfortable to view for those with visual impairments.
