Our Commitment to Accessibility
At ALSO, we are deeply committed to inclusion, equity, and accessibility for all. As part of our mission to serve and support our community, we strive to ensure that everyone—regardless of ability—can access and benefit from the resources and information available on our website.
We believe that accessibility is a key aspect of digital inclusion, and we are continually working to improve the usability of our site for all users, including those with disabilities.
Standards and Guidelines
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines help make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive challenges.

Our website may include content or features from third parties (such as donation platforms, embedded videos, or calendars). While we encourage accessibility best practices among our partners, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of all third-party tools or content.
