Our Commitment to Accessibility
OrthoTexas is committed to making our website accessible to as many people as possible, including individuals with visual, hearing, cognitive, and motor impairments. We recognize that accessing digital content can be challenging for users with disabilities, and we are dedicated to providing an experience that is inclusive, usable, and respectful of individual needs.
We strive to make our website-based communications accessible and to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Our goal is to continually improve accessibility and usability for all visitors.
Understanding Accessibility Challenges
We acknowledge that disabilities—and the ways individuals interact with websites—are often unique. What works well for one person may present challenges for another. OrthoTexas makes reasonable efforts, consistent with our resources and current technology, to accommodate as many users as possible.
To support this effort, we have engaged experienced professionals to assist and advise us on accessibility best practices and compliance considerations.
Accessibility Standards and Ongoing Improvements
Because there are varying interpretations of ADA compliance due to the absence of a single, definitive technical standard, we follow recognized industry guidelines and best practices.
Our website is developed and evaluated using:
- Industry-standard techniques and accepted usability practices
- Internal accessibility audit checklists informed by recognized consortiums
- Current Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), including WCAG 2.1 where applicable
- Considerations for screen reader users, keyboard-only navigation, and users with visual, hearing, or motor impairments
We continually dedicate resources to:
- Improving accessibility audits and benchmarking processes
- Evaluating new technologies as they become available
- Enhancing website accessibility through ongoing updates and refinements
Third-Party Content and Limitations
Our website may include third-party applications or plugins, such as Google Maps or social media integrations. These elements are not always fully controllable by OrthoTexas and may not function consistently for all users or all types of disabilities. We are not responsible for accessibility limitations in third-party content over which we do not have control.
Feedback and Continuous Improvement
Despite our ongoing efforts, some content or features may still present challenges. Accessibility is an evolving process, and improvements often depend on user feedback, emerging technologies, and available resources.
We welcome your comments, questions, and suggestions, as they help us better understand and address accessibility needs.
If you are experiencing difficulty accessing or navigating any part of our website due to a disability, or if you need assistance for any reason, we are here to help. Call us at 972-492-1334.
