Accessibility Statement

The SLNT Commitment to Accessibility

SLNT is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities and to providing a website experience that is inclusive, functional, and usable by the broadest possible audience, regardless of ability, technology, or circumstance. We continually work to improve the user experience for everyone and to apply and evolve our practices in accordance with recognized accessibility standards, emerging regulatory guidance, and industry best practices. Accessibility is not a static objective, but an ongoing process of design, development, evaluation, and remediation intended to remove barriers and enhance usability over time.

Compliance Status and Applicable Standards

Our new and improved website is designed with the objective of conforming to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards and, where feasible, incorporating principles reflected in WCAG 2.2 as those standards continue to evolve. These guidelines are widely recognized as the benchmark for digital accessibility and provide technical criteria for improving access to web content for individuals with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments. In addition, we consider our obligations under applicable accessibility laws and regulations, including Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, relevant state laws, and, where applicable, international frameworks such as the European Accessibility Act. While we strive for substantial conformance with these standards, we acknowledge that certain areas of the website may not yet fully comply, and we are actively working to identify, prioritize, and remediate such areas in a manner consistent with technical feasibility and available resources.

Accessibility Features and Functional Enhancements

Our website incorporates a variety of accessibility features, including those provided through its new design, to support users with diverse needs and preferences. These features include the ability to increase text size for improved readability, enhance cursor visibility to facilitate navigation, and adjust visual presentation through contrast, brightness, saturation, and color inversion controls. Users may also enable grayscale mode to reduce visual complexity or hide images entirely to minimize distractions and improve reading focus.

To support reading and comprehension, our website offers tools such as a reading line to guide visual tracking, a reading mask to isolate lines of text, and options to convert site fonts into more legible formats, including highly readable fonts such as Helvetica and specialized typography designed for users with dyslexia. Navigation is further enhanced through features that highlight links, simplify page structure, and provide tooltips and descriptive labels for interactive elements in accordance with WCAG guidance.

The website is designed to support assistive technologies, including compatibility with commonly used screen readers, and provides full keyboard navigation functionality using standard commands such as Tab, Shift+Tab, and Enter. Text-to-speech functionality allows users to have content read aloud, and motion controls enable users to pause or disable animations that may affect individuals with vestibular sensitivities. We also make reasonable efforts to include descriptive alternative text for images, and where such descriptions are not manually provided, AI-generated descriptions may be used to enhance accessibility, including through tools such as Google Vision AI.

Technical Implementation and Compatibility

The accessibility features available on this website are supported through a combination of technologies, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and related frameworks, and are designed to function across modern browsers and assistive technologies. While we aim to maintain compatibility with widely used tools and devices, variations in user environments, browser configurations, and assistive technologies may impact accessibility in ways that are outside of our direct control. As part of our ongoing efforts, we test and evaluate our website periodically to improve compatibility and performance across a range of platforms.

Ongoing Evaluation and Continuous Improvement

SLNT is actively engaged in a process of continuous monitoring, evaluation, and enhancement of website accessibility. We periodically review our digital properties to identify potential barriers and prioritize remediation efforts based on user impact, legal considerations, and technical feasibility. Certain content, including legacy materials, archived pages, third-party integrations, or user-generated content, may present accessibility limitations that cannot be immediately resolved; however, we remain committed to addressing such issues over time as part of our broader accessibility strategy.

Accessibility considerations are integrated into our design and development workflows to the extent practicable, including efforts to improve semantic structure, navigation clarity, and content readability. We also evaluate third-party tools and services used on our website, recognizing that while they may enhance accessibility, they may not fully address all user needs in every circumstance, and we are always striving to use best practices and state of the art features when compatible and reliable.

Third-Party Content and External Links

Our website may include links to third-party websites or incorporate third-party content or functionality. We do not control and are not responsible for the accessibility of such external resources. However, we encourage users to notify us if they encounter accessibility barriers related to third-party content linked from our website so that we may, where appropriate, communicate such concerns to the relevant providers.
