Our mission at ADHDadvisor.org is to provide accessible and affordable ADHD treatment and healthcare to everyone. We are serious about the ethical and legal responsibilities that come with this mission.

The standards below apply to the ADHDadvisor.org website and cover design, content, and functionality.Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define three levels of conformance. Each demonstrates an increasing level of accessibility for anyone with disabilities:

  • Level A
  • Level AA
  • Level AAA

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) by meeting WCAG 2.1 level A-AA requirements. Where possible, we’ve applied level AAA criteria.

U.S. Rehabilitation Act and Section 508

ADHDadvisor.org is also committed to making its electronic and information technologies accessible to individuals with disabilities by meeting Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (28 U.S.C. 794d), as amended in 1998. Section 508 is a federal law that requires agencies to provide individuals with disabilities equal access to electronic information and data comparable to those who do not have disabilities unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. The Section 508 standards are the technical requirements and criteria that are used to measure conformance within this law. More information on Section 508 and the technical standards can be found at www.section 508.gov. This webpage provides resources about ADHDadvisor.org’s policies, accessibility requirements and the formal complaints process, in addition to other accessibility resources.

How are we making ADHD.advisor.org more accessible

  • Zoom in up to 200% without text becoming illegible
  • Use our website with a keyboard and/or switch control
  • Use our website with a screen reader and other assistive technology
Compatibility with browsers and devices.

Our products should be compatible with all current major browsers and devices. On some old browsers things may look different, but the information is the same. In Opera Mini, some of the functionality may not work in Extreme Mode.

Theme
Our theming capabilities put the user in control.

Animations and flashing content
The user can pause or stop animations that last longer than five seconds. When selected, the “prefers-reduced-motion” CSS media feature also keeps animation minimal.

Flashing content does not:

  • Flash more than 3 times per second
  • Flash red or colors on the red spectrum
  • Keeps the area of flashing content small

Captions and Transcripts

  • Spoken words
  • Important sound effects
  • Visual descriptions

Colors and color contrast
Contrast rules for text ensure both large and small text is accessible. Large text (24px or larger, or 19px or larger if bold) has a minimum contrast ratio of 3:1. Small text (smaller than 24px, or smaller than 19px bold) has a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1.

A contrast ratio of 3:1 also applies to:

  • Graphics
  • Interactive elements such as form fields, links, and buttons
  • Visual cues that show their state

Form
A contrast ratio of 3:1 also applies to:

  • All forms are single-column
  • Minimized clutter assists with focus
  • Multi-step forms include progress indicators
  • Form fields have definable, clickable boundaries
  • Form fields and controls are large enough to click or tap
  • Hints and appropriate labeling guide the user

Headings
Headers can help the visually impaired user scan content to find what interests them. Web content heading labels reflect the hierarchy of different sections.

Links and Buttons
ADHDadvisor users see differentiated buttons and links. Buttons show where to take a simple action and identify these steps for screen readers.

ADHDadvisor content must work for every user. This means we keep it simple.

  • Short, easy words
  • No jargon or buzzwords
  • Defined acronyms and specialist terms
  • Sentences are short and clear
  • Headings, subheadings, and bulleted lists break up content

Session timeouts
The WCAG recommends multiplying the time it takes someone to complete a task by 10x. ADHDadvisor users get plenty of time to give a response. Timeout warnings include a clear warning message and a way to extend the session.

Text descriptions
Text descriptions help to understand images. Text descriptions work for both functional and informative images.

Typography and font styling
Body text fonts stay at 14pt or above for easy reading. There are clear sizing differences between body text and headings. Users can always increase text size.
