Our goal for this website is to provide information and access to services to all visitors. We understand that not everyone experiences web content the same way. Some have impaired vision, hearing, ability to use a mouse, or other disability. As part of our commitment to universal access, we make it a priority to take these differences into account by organizing our site and presenting our content in ways that are usable by visitors with disabilities and the assistive technologies they rely on.

Your Internet user experience is shaped by more than just the design and content features built into the sites you visit.
