Web Page and Document Accessibility Policy

Introduction

We are committed to making all of our Internet pages and documents accessible to all. To ensure that we meet of our web site users, we continually review our site and modify pages to remove accessibility problems for people with different abilities and needs.

Many documents on our web pages are in PHP with the underlying code in HTML format, accessible to people who use screen reading software and to those with other vision or mobility impairments. Generally, we use Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create pages and documents that are accessible to that segment of our customer base. In creating HTML documents, we follow recognised standards in the use of TAGS and layout to make it easy to use by people of all abilities and needs.

Currently, our website also contains documents in Adobe Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format) files; and right now, many people who use screen reading devices can't read them. To solve that problem, Adobe Systems, Inc. is developing several products designed to make PDF documents more accessible to screen reading software. Adobe's accessibility web pages (http://access.adobe.com/) describe their efforts. While those products are in development, we will provide TEXT Based, Word Document or HTML versions of our PDF documents.
