This is an accessibility statement from RDPFS’s website found at https://partnersforsight.org/ 

Measures to Support Accessibility

RDPFS takes the following measures to ensure the accessibility of https://partnersforsight.org/

1. Consult with accessibility professionals to understand and implement up-to-date accessibility measures
2. Collecting feedback and insight from users who use assistive technology such as screen readers, keyboards, magnification, keyboards, and high contrast modes
3. External audit of website against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA (Double A) standards 

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. RDPFS at https://partnersforsight.org/ is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. RDPFS continues to work toward fully conforming with WCAG 2.2 level AA.

We will be doing our best to ensure that all major barriers and blockers are removed. Some items may not be able to be remedied at this time due to third party tools and integrations, but we plan to address these in the future to ensure the experience is as accessible as it can be for all of our users.
