Accessibility Statement

At Lotus Dental Associates, we believe that exceptional dental care should be accessible to everyone. We are committed to ensuring that our website provides an inclusive digital experience for all visitors, regardless of their abilities or the assistive technologies they use.

We strive to maintain the highest accessibility standards by following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA criteria established by the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative. These guidelines help us create web content that is accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities.

Our Accessibility Tools

Our website includes built-in accessibility tools that allow you to customize your browsing experience. Look for the accessibility icon on any page to access these features:

Text Size Controls

Increase Text: Make all text larger for easier reading, especially helpful for visitors with visual impairments or those who prefer larger fonts for comfort.

Decrease Text: Reduce text size if you prefer smaller text or need to see more content on your screen at once.

Visual Display Options

Grayscale: Convert the entire website to grayscale, which can reduce visual distractions and help visitors with certain visual processing differences focus on content.

High Contrast: Enhance the contrast between text and background colors to improve readability for visitors with low vision, color blindness, or other visual impairments.

Negative Contrast: Invert colors to create a dark background with light text, which can reduce eye strain and improve readability for some visitors.

Light Background: Ensure all page backgrounds are light-colored for optimal contrast with dark text, making content easier to read.

Typography and Navigation

Links Underline: Add underlines to all links throughout the website, making it easier to identify clickable elements for visitors who have difficulty distinguishing colors.

Readable Font: Switch to a highly legible, dyslexia-friendly font that improves readability for visitors with dyslexia, visual processing differences, or reading difficulties.
