Accessibility
Everyone who needs this space should be able to reach it. Accessibility is not a compliance exercise for us; it is a direct expression of the same commitments that shape all of our work.
Third-party Content
Some content on this site is provided by third-party platforms — Wix (site hosting), Practice Better (Participant Portal), and our newsletter provider. We do our best to select tools that prioritize accessibility, but we cannot guarantee their compliance.
Feedback
If you encounter an accessibility barrier, we want to know. Write to awaited@centerofsorrow.org with a description of what you were trying to do and what got in the way. We will respond within three to five working days and work toward a fix.
What We Are Still Working On
We are a new organization and this site is in active development. Areas we are continuing to improve:
-
Third-party embedded content — the Participant Portal and newsletter signup — may not be fully within our control. We are working with our providers on this.
-
PDF documents in our resource library are being reviewed for screen reader compatibility.
-
Any future audio or video content will include captions and transcripts.
Alternative Access: If you cannot access any part of this site or need information in a different format, please write to us at awaited@centerofsorrow.org. We will find a way to get you what you need.
What We Have Done
-
The site uses semantic HTML structure throughout, with proper heading levels and landmark regions.
-
Color contrast ratios meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 AA standards across body text, headings, and interactive elements.
-
All meaningful images include descriptive alternative text.
-
The site is navigable without a mouse using keyboard controls.
-
Font sizes are set in relative units and scale with browser text size preferences.
-
No content flashes at a rate that could trigger photosensitive responses.

Our Aim
We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA across this site. This means the site should be navigable by keyboard, readable by screen readers, and usable regardless of how you access the web.
