Accessibility statement

The Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation is committed to making this site usable by every member of our community, including people with low vision, motor challenges, cognitive differences, and other disabilities. Accessibility is treated as a launch requirement, not an afterthought.

Conformance

We design and build this site to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. In practice that means:

Semantic, structured markup so screen readers can navigate the content
Full keyboard operability, with visible focus indicators
WCAG AA color contrast (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and controls)
Descriptive alternative text on meaningful images
Respect for reduced-motion and other system preferences

Readable font Switch to a dyslexia-friendly typeface.

Read aloud Have page text read to you.

Contrast modes Dark and high-contrast themes.
