Website Accessibility
Accessibility Statement
Clackamas ESD has committed to making its electronic and information technologies accessible to the widest possible audience by taking steps to meet the Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794d) requirements, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 AA.
Section 504 and Title II of the ADA are federal laws that require agencies to provide individuals with disabilities equal access to electronic information and data comparable to those who do not have disabilities unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. WCAG 2.0 AA are the technical requirements and criteria that are used to measure conformance to federal laws and guidelines.
Our website redesign launched in August 2021 made many improvements to our website’s accessibility, including improving keyboard-only navigation; using ADA-compliant text contrast, proper heading and list structure, descriptive text links, alternative text descriptions for images and video captions generated by YouTube; and more. Please note that we are working on adding alternative text descriptions to older images on our site and that our website links to external websites, which may not pass the same accessibility standards.
