Accessibility
At the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services, we
value the people who are directly or indirectly affected by the services we
provide. Among those affected are individuals who utilize assistive
technologies
when browsing the Internet. For this reason, we took great care to ensure that
people with disabilities -- as well as those who for one reason or another use
older browsers -- can "feel at home" when viewing our website. At the same
time,
however, we did not want those who want to fully "experience" the Internet to
be
constrained in any way. In order to accomplish the difficult task of leveraging
accessibility and the latest internet technologies, we decided to create a
graphic as well as a text-only version of the website to accommodate all
website
visitors.
The graphic website employs javascript, cascading style
sheets, graphics, Macromedia Flash
, and other technologies to make the website look appealing and
easy to use. At the same time, we make sure that the web pages are compliant
with the World Wide Web Consortium's ( W3C
) HTML 4.01 standards and Section 508 requirements
of the U.S. Rehabilitation
Act . The text-only version of the
website also conforms to more rigid W3C 's
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 .
We take conformance to accessibility standards very
seriously and will make every attempt to correct web pages that violate them.
If
you have difficulty viewing this website, please contact us .
In your email, please include your browser name
and
version and describe your issue in detail.
