Accessibility Policy

Last Updated: November 12, 2025

The American Printing House for the Blind (“APH”) is committed to making its websites, mobile applications, and other digital platforms (collectively, “Digital Platforms”) reasonably accessible to individuals with disabilities, recognizing that accessibility is an ongoing effort subject to evolving standards and technological constraints. We recognize the importance of accessibility and aim to support an inclusive digital experience.

To that end, APH has taken steps to enhance the accessibility of its Digital Platforms and strives to align with current best practices and recognized guidelines, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, to the extent reasonably feasible. Our Digital Platforms are designed to work with screen readers, magnifiers, braille and voice input as well as eye control and switch devices.

We strive to regularly evaluate our Digital Platforms to identify and address accessibility issues as they arise. As part of our ongoing efforts, we may update features, incorporate assistive technology compatibility, and implement improvements to enhance user experience.

We conduct quarterly digital accessibility audits in compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and WCAG 2.2 Level AA. The process includes planning, evaluation, and reporting to ensure that websites, applications, and digital documents are accessible to all users. By combining manual review, assistive technology testing, and detailed documentation of findings, the audit provides a clear assessment of compliance and establishes priorities for remediation. The outcome is not only adherence to federal accessibility standards but also improved usability and inclusivity for all users.

If you encounter any difficulty accessing content, features, or functionality on our Digital Platforms, or have requests for accessibility conformance reports (VPATs) for our Digital Platforms, please contact us at accessibility@aph.org or 1-800-223-1839. We will make reasonable efforts to provide the information or services you are seeking through an alternative method or accommodation, as appropriate.

Our Digital Platforms may include links to or integrations with third-party content, tools, or services. While we aim to provide an accessible experience across our own platforms, we do not control the accessibility of third-party resources and cannot guarantee their compliance with accessibility standards. We encourage users to contact us if they encounter barriers when accessing linked content, and we will make reasonable efforts to assist or provide alternative access where feasible.

Some documents and resources made available on our Digital Platforms may be provided in Portable Document Format (PDF). You may need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view these files, which is available for free at https://www.adobe.com/downloads.html.

This policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices and applicable standards.
