Accessibility

Everyone should be able to read this site and reach me through it.

The Intent

I want this website to be usable whether you are reading it with a screen reader, moving through it with a keyboard, magnifying the text several times over, or turning off animation because motion makes you unwell. Finding a therapist is hard enough without a website getting in the way.

What Is Built In

  • Semantic headings and page landmarks, so a screen reader can move through a page by structure rather than guesswork.
  • Navigation that works from the keyboard alone, with a visible gold focus outline so you can always see where you are.
  • Color contrast tested against the WCAG AA thresholds for text and headings.
  • Text that reflows and scales when you zoom or enlarge type, without content being cut off.
  • Alt text written for images that carry meaning.
  • Motion that respects your system reduced-motion setting; with it on, content appears without animation, and the page reads fine with JavaScript unavailable.

The Standard I Aim At

The target is WCAG 2.1 Level AA. I hold that as a working standard rather than a claim of perfection. This is a solo practice and a small site, and accessibility here is an ongoing effort: when something is found to fall short, it gets fixed.

If Something Blocks You

Please tell me. Text or call (831) 477-7007, or email lauriechristysessions@gmail.com, and describe what happened and what you were using. That kind of message is genuinely useful and I am glad to get it.

If any part of this site will not work for you, I will give you the same information another way, read to you over the phone, sent as plain text, or talked through directly. Nothing on this site is information you have to fight a web page to get.

Questions about this page

You are welcome to ask. Text or call (831) 477-7007, or email lauriechristysessions@gmail.com. Please keep health details out of text and email, and we can talk them through in session instead.
