Accessibility Statement

We want every family and every professional who visits this site — however they browse it — to be able to find what they need and reach us. Here's where that stands today, and how to tell us when it falls short.

Our commitment

Ability Avenues, LLC is committed to making https://abilityavenues.com accessible to people with disabilities, including people who use screen readers, navigate by keyboard, rely on captions or larger text, or use other assistive technology. Accessibility isn't a side-project for us — many of the children and families we work with navigate the world differently, and this site should reflect that.

Conformance target

We've built this site to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as our baseline — the widely recognized technical standard for web accessibility, and the same bar our internal design system is built and checked against (color contrast, keyboard focus, semantic structure, and motion preferences among them). We treat this as an ongoing target, not a one-time checkbox: pages are reviewed as they're built and revisited as the site changes.

What we're doing

Some of the concrete things this looks like on the site:

  • Text and interface colors are checked against WCAG contrast minimums rather than picked by eye;
  • Every interactive element (links, buttons, form fields) is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus state;
  • Pages use semantic headings and landmarks so screen-reader users can navigate by structure, not just top to bottom;
  • Form fields carry labels and error messages that are announced, not conveyed by color alone;
  • Decorative motion respects your device's reduced-motion setting; and
  • Images carry descriptive alternative text, or are marked decorative when they carry no information of their own.

No website of this size is perfect, and we expect to find and fix gaps over time. If you hit one, we genuinely want to hear about it — see Feedback & accommodation requests below.

Visiting our Golden Valley center

We want a visit to our Golden Valley center to work for your family, including if you or your child use a mobility device, need a quiet space, or have other access needs. If you're planning a visit and want to know what to expect, call us at (952) 900-2344 beforehand — we're glad to talk through it ahead of time rather than have you find out at the door.

Third-party content

Some pages link to outside organizations — Minnesota state programs and community resources on our resources hub, for example. Those sites are run independently and their accessibility is outside our control, though we try to link to organizations that take it seriously.

Feedback & accommodation requests

If any part of this site is difficult to use with the technology or approach you rely on, or if you need information here in a different format, tell us:

Please include the page you were on and a description of the problem, and we'll do our best to get back to you promptly and address it.
