At International Torah Academy, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. Our goal is to provide a seamless and user-friendly experience for everyone, regardless of their abilities or assistive technology usage.

1. Commitment to Accessibility

We strive to adhere to the standards set by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, to provide an accessible digital environment for all users. These guidelines are recognized as the benchmark for web

site accessibility globally and ensure that web content is accessible to a wide range of people with disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.

2. Key Accessibility Features

  • Navigation: Our website is designed for easy navigation with a clear layout, allowing users to access content using keyboard navigation or screen readers.

  • Text Alternatives: All non-text content, such as images and multimedia elements, include descriptive text (alt text) to make content understandable for users with visual impairments.

  • Responsive Design: The website is optimized for various devices, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones, ensuring that content remains accessible regardless of screen size.

  • Color Contrast: We maintain sufficient contrast between text and background colors, making content easy to read for users with visual impairments.

  • Accessible Forms: All forms are designed to be accessible, with properly labeled fields for ease of use with screen readers or other assistive technologies.

3. Assistive Technology Compatibility

Our website is designed to be compatible with a variety of assistive technologies, including:

  • Screen readers (e.g., JAWS, NVDA)

  • Voice recognition software (e.g., Dragon NaturallySpeaking)

  • Screen magnification software

  • Alternative input devices, such as keyboard-only navigation

4. Continuous Improvements

We are continually monitoring and improving the accessibility of our website to ensure that all users can access the information and services we provide. We perform regular audits and updates to maintain compliance with accessibility standards and respond to feedback from our users.

5. Third-Party Content

While we strive to ensure all content is accessible, some areas of our website may contain content provided by third-party services or platforms. We cannot control the accessibility of third-party content, but we encourage providers to offer accessible solutions and alternatives.
