Accessibility Statement

Last updated: July 2, 2026

The commitment. We want everyone to be able to use higherselflife.com. Accessibility is part of our mission: a community where everyone can thrive includes everyone who visits our site. We build and maintain this site to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, and we fix accessibility issues promptly when they’re reported.

1. Our Commitment

Accessibility is part of how we build. We design and test this site to conform, as closely as reasonably possible, to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA — the standard referenced by the ADA and Section 508 — and we treat accessibility as an ongoing practice, not a one-time check.

2. What We’ve Done

Area	What’s in place
Color & contrast	Text meets or exceeds WCAG AA contrast (4.5:1 body, 3:1 large text) on both our light and dark sections; content is not conveyed by color alone
Keyboard	Navigation, forms, and interactive elements are reachable and operable by keyboard, with visible focus states
Structure	Semantic headings (one H1 per page), landmarks, lists, and labeled form fields for screen readers
Images & media	Meaningful images have text alternatives; decorative images are hidden from assistive tech
Motion	Animated content (including the homepage slider) does not flash, respects the “reduce motion” setting, and its key information is also available as static text
Responsive & zoom	Content reflows and stays usable on small screens and at up to 200% zoom
Forms	Clear labels, required-field indicators, error messages, and accessible dropdown controls

3. Measures & Tools

We evaluate accessibility using automated tools (such as axe) alongside manual keyboard and screen-reader checks on desktop and mobile, and we address issues found during regular reviews and after any significant change to the site.

4. Known Limitations

Despite our efforts, some third-party components embedded on our site (for example a donation-processing field, a video player, a social media embed, or analytics) are controlled by outside providers and may not be fully accessible, and some older content may lag the current standard. We choose vendors with accessibility commitments wherever possible and pass concerns through to them. Where a barrier exists, we will provide the information or complete the task for you by another means on request.

5. Get Help or Report a Barrier

6. Standards & Updates

This statement reflects a goal of WCAG 2.1 AA conformance. It was last reviewed on the date shown above and is updated as our programs and platforms grow — accessibility work is never “done,” and this commitment travels with them.
