Accessibility Statement

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the accessibility button at the bottom of the screen do?

It opens a toolbar with larger text, increased line height and letter spacing, a more readable typeface, contrast and grayscale modes, link highlighting, stronger focus outlines, a bigger cursor, a reading guide and an option to stop animations, plus profiles for seizure safety, low vision, ADHD, dyslexia and keyboard navigation. Your choices are stored in your own browser, not on our server.

Does that toolbar make the site accessible?

No, and we would rather say so. It is a preference layer that helps some visitors. The accessibility of these pages comes from how they are built: one descriptive heading per page, real landmarks, a skip link, labelled controls, keyboard access to everything and colours checked against the WCAG AA thresholds.

Which standard do you work to?

WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We believe the site substantially conforms, which means most of it meets the standard and anything falling short is treated as a defect to be fixed rather than an acceptable state.

Something on the site does not work for me. What should I do?

Tell us. Call 716-832-0013, use the email link, or write to us at 2940 Main St., Buffalo, NY 14214. Describe the page and what happened, and we will fix it. We aim to respond within five business days.
