Accessibility Statement

Hildebrand Estivo Dental is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. Our aim is to comply as much as possible with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1, Level AA), published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

​

These guidelines describe the best ways to make web content more accessible to all people, including those who have disabilities such as blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity, and more. The WCAG 2.1 Level AA standard also includes those who have a combination of these overlapping disabilities.

​

We are continually improving the user experience for everyone by applying the relevant accessibility standards. Current efforts to enhance accessibility of our website include:

  • Providing alternative text for images.

  • Including captions for videos.

  • Using consistent and clear language.

  • Increasing the contrast between font and background colors.

  • Making clickable items larger and easier to select.

​

Please be aware that our attempts to maintain accessibility and usability are ongoing. While we strive to make the website as accessible as possible, we know some issues can be encountered by different assistive technology as the range of assistive technology is wide and varied.

​

VISUAL ASSISTANCE 
If you are having difficulty viewing pages on our site, the following tips may be helpful:

  • Use your computer’s text-to-speech feature to read web pages aloud

  • Use keyboard navigation to move through pages

  • Adjust text size to improve readability

  • Magnify your screen

  • Customize background and text colors for better visibility

  • Increase the size or visibility of your mouse pointer (Windows users)

​

CLOSED CAPTIONING FOR AUDIO ACCESSIBILITY
For those who are hard of hearing or deaf, closed captioning provides a helpful solution. This feature displays spoken words on the screen, making it easier to follow along with video content, even in noisy environments.

​

VOLUME CONTROLS FOR AUDIO ACCESSIBILITY
Adjusting volume controls can also improve your experience. Check for volume controls on your device (phone, tablet, computer) as well as within the video or audio service you are using.

​

ALTERNATIVE KEYBOARD AND MOUSE OPTIONS
If you’re unable to use a keyboard or mouse, consider using speech recognition software. This type of program allows you to navigate online through our website using voice commands rather than using a mouse and keyboard.
