Accessibility Statement

1. Commitment to Accessibility

The Ontario College of Family Physicians (OCFP) strives to ensure that its website and digital services are fully accessible to individuals with disabilities, conforming to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standards.

2. Implemented Accessibility Features

• Keyboard Navigation: All navigation menus, mega menus, search modals, and forms are fully navigable via standard keyboard controls (`Tab`, `Shift+Tab`, `Enter`, `Space`, `Escape`).
• Global Accessibility Panel: Integrated floating accessibility drawer (`#a11y-panel`) providing 10 real-time controls including text sizing, high contrast mode, grayscale, inverted colors, link highlighting, readable typography, and animation pausing.
• Screen Reader Optimization: Proper HTML5 semantic landmarks (<main>, <nav>, <header>, <footer>), ARIA attributes (aria-expanded, aria-label, aria-live), and descriptive alt text for images.
• Color Contrast: Text and UI elements maintain high contrast ratios exceeding WCAG AA minimums (e.g. body text `#111827` on `#ffffff` at 16.5:1 ratio).
• Focus Indicators: Explicit, high-visibility 3px focus rings (`:focus-visible`) across all interactive buttons, links, and form fields.
