Accessibility Information

The Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities is committed to making our Web site accessible to everyone. We are making continuous efforts to comply with the letter and the spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. This site has been created with special accessibility features that allow it to be used by a wide audience:

  • "Skip to Main Content" link has been added to the top of every web page to allow users of text-to-speech browsers easily navigate over the navigation menus.
  • Alternative text has been used for all important images. This feature is used so that users using text-to-speech browsers and all-text browsers can understand the purpose of the image.
  • Where necessary, descriptive hyperlinks have been used.
  • Relative units have been used to control the width of text on each page. This allows users to adjust the width of the browser without causing horizontal scrolling and it allows displayed text to flow well when resized.
  • Font sizes can be adjusted using browser settings.
  • Adobe PDF documents have been optimized for accessibility and can be read by screen reading devices.
