Standards Compliance

An attempt has been made to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0, which are standards created by the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). WCAG 1.0 compliance levels are described as single-A (meets all Priority 1 Checkpoints), double-A (meets all Priority 1 and 2 Checkpoints), and triple-A (meets all Priority 1, 2, and 3 Checkpoints).

The pages that make up this Web site have been validated individually by several online services to measure accessibility standards. To the best of my knowledge the pages in this Web site conform to U.S. Government Section 508 (Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards) Guidelines and a minimum of the double-A compliance level.
