Our Approach to Website Accessibility

At Mid-America, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Web Accessibility Guidelines

This site is built using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) requirements for designers and developers. The WCAG defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

The current Mid-America site is built to meet Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.

Accessibility relies on the following technologies to work with the particular combination of web browser and any assistive technologies or plugins installed on your computer:

• HTML
• WAI-ARIA
• CSS
• JavaScript

These technologies are relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards used.

Accessibility Features

The following points summarize the main accessibility considerations that have been taken into account with our site’s design and development.

Perceivable

• Providing text alternatives for non-text content.
• Providing captions and alternatives for videos and other multimedia.
• Making it easier for users to see and hear content with appropriate color contrast, text size and audio controls (if necessary).

Operable

• Making the site functional from a keyboard.
• Giving users time to read and use content.
• Avoiding content known to cause physical reactions.
• Helping users navigate content easily, by using appropriate page titles, headings, a search function and a site map.

Understandable

• Text is readable and easy to understand.
• Content appears and functions in appropriate ways and uses consistent navigation.

Limitations

Accessibility is an ongoing process for any site where content is adjusted on a regular basis. Below is a description of known limitations. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.

User generated content: The Mid-America site is maintained by a set of key users. Through ongoing training and regular site audits, we strive to ensure the quality of content from our key users.

Document accessibility: In certain areas, the Mid-America contains links to PDF documents. We are working to increase the accessibility of these documents in their original creation, before they are uploaded to the site. This is an ongoing process.
