Conformance Status

We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines. However, we recognize that achieving and maintaining full accessibility is an ongoing process. We are actively working to identify and address any accessibility barriers on our website and within our digital publications.

Accessibility of Our Publications

We are committed  to making our publications accessible to the widest possible audience. Our newer electronic book publications (ePubs) are created with accessibility deatures, including:

• Alternative text for images where appropriate.
• Clear headings and subheadings.
• Proper use of lists.
• The ability to resize text.
