Accessibility

We have made every effort to make the WCER Web site accessible to those with visual, hearing, and other impairments, while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing design.

All pages of this Web site have been tested with Bobby. Compliance is a judgment call, because while many accessibility features are measurable, many others are not. Having reviewed Bobby’s guidelines, it is our belief that all the pages of this Web site are in compliance.

All pages of this site are Section 508 approved. Again, this is a judgment call. Having reviewed the Section 508 guidelines, it is our belief that all the pages are in compliance.

At the top of each page we have provided hidden buttons to allow those using readers such as Jaws, HomePage Reader or Lynx to skip to the navigation system, or skip to the content of each page.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) were used for most of the design and text styling on this site, and only relative font sizes were used. This method of defining font size is compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in your browser. If your browser does not support CSS, the content in this site will still be readable.

All relevant images used in this site are labeled with descriptive ALT tags.

WCER's top news stories are now available as podcasts. Copy this URL into your Podcasting software: http://www.wcer.wisc.edu/publications/podcast/feed.xml to listen.
