SDBIF Website Accessibility Statement
OUR COMMITMENT TO DIGITAL ACCESSIBILITY
The San Diego Brain Injury Foundation (SDBIF) is dedicated to ensuring that our digital front door is open, welcoming, and entirely usable for everyone in our community, especially survivors of traumatic and acquired brain injuries, their families, and our network of care providers. We believe that accessing critical resources, navigating care systems, and connecting with support should not require overcoming digital barriers.
THE STANDARD WE STRIVE FOR
To fulfill this mission, we are actively working to ensure that sdbif.org adheres to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the Level AA standard. We recognize that brain injuries can uniquely impact cognitive processing, visual tracking, and motor function. Therefore, our website accessibility efforts go beyond standard code compliance to specifically address the neurological needs of our users
Key Website Accessibility Features We Prioritize:
- Cognitive Clarity: Predictable navigation, straightforward layouts, and single-column text formatting to minimize cognitive fatigue and prevent users from losing their place.
- Visual Stability: High-contrast text, muted color palettes, and a strict prohibition on auto-playing media or flashing elements to protect users with visual impairments, light sensitivity, and vestibular challenges.
- Seamless Operability: Keyboard-navigable digital forms, clear error messaging, and the removal of session timeouts to accommodate motor tremors, spasticity, and the need for extended processing time.
AN ONGOING PROCESS
Digital accessibility is an ongoing journey, not a one-time project. As we continuously update our resources, expand the Brain Injury Collaboration Network (BICN), and add new features to our website, we regularly evaluate our platform through automated diagnostic tools and manual usability testing to ensure our compliance remains strong.
