Accessibility Statement

Our commitment to inclusive design

Our Commitment

Fitting In While Standing Out is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

As an organization focused on supporting neurodiverse adults, accessibility is not just a requirement—it's central to our mission. We want everyone to be able to access and benefit from our resources.

Accessibility Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.

Measures We've Taken

To ensure accessibility, we have implemented the following measures:

Visual Design

  • Sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds
  • Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
  • No content flashes more than three times per second
  • Clear visual focus indicators for interactive elements
  • Respect for user preferences for reduced motion

Navigation and Structure

  • Consistent navigation across all pages
  • Skip links to bypass repetitive content
  • Logical heading hierarchy
  • Descriptive page titles
  • Keyboard-accessible navigation

Content

  • Plain language aimed at a general reading level
  • Alternative text for all meaningful images
  • Clear and descriptive link text
  • Error messages that clearly identify and explain errors
  • Form labels associated with their inputs

Sensory Considerations

  • No auto-playing audio or video
  • Animations can be paused or disabled
  • Reduced motion support for users who prefer it
  • Calm, non-overwhelming visual design

Assistive Technology Compatibility

Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

  • Screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
  • Screen magnification software
  • Speech recognition software
  • Keyboard-only navigation

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some content may not yet meet accessibility standards. We are working to address these issues:

  • Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible. We are working to provide accessible alternatives.
  • Third-party content (such as embedded social media) may not meet our accessibility standards.
