It is recognized that Federal guidelines on accessibility are *guidelines* and best practices gathered through shared experiences of both professionals and users of assistive technology. Updates to this website are continuous and ongoing. We appreciate any news about the compatibility of this site with assistive technology and we will respond accordingly. We do our best to follow federal guidelines but unfortunately they are simply that, guidelines with sometimes no clear instruction for making the web 100% accessible to all. We will continue to do our best to refine our website for continuous improvement.

Thank you.
