Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some areas of our website may have accessibility limitations:

• Third-Party Content: Some embedded content from third parties (e.g., payment processors) may not meet our accessibility standards. We work with vendors to improve this.
• PDF Documents: Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible. Contact us for alternative formats.
• Complex Data Tables: Some tables with many columns may require horizontal scrolling on smaller screens.

Ongoing Efforts

We are continuously working to improve accessibility:

• Regular automated accessibility testing with tools like axe-core
• Manual testing with keyboard and screen readers
• Training for our development team on accessibility best practices
• Incorporating accessibility into our design and development process
