Accessibility Statement

Effective May 18, 2026

These Conversations Matter is committed to making our website and the MI am I? Practice Studio usable by the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities. We believe digital accessibility is part of equal participation, dignity, and care.

Conformance target

We aim to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in October 2023. WCAG 2.2 is backward-compatible with WCAG 2.1 and 2.0. The standard defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. We use the four WCAG principles as our framework: content must be Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust.

We design with the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508, and the European Accessibility Act in mind. We are monitoring WCAG 3.0 (in draft) and will assess it once finalized.

WCAG 2.2 new criteria — status

  • 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum) — AA. Global scroll-padding-top keeps focused elements clear of the sticky header.
  • 2.4.12 Focus Not Obscured (Enhanced) — AAA. Same mechanism; no element fully obscures focus.
  • 2.5.7 Dragging Movements — AA. The Service has no drag-only operations; all interactions work via single clicks and keyboard.
  • 2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum) — AA. Interactive targets are sized via padding utilities that exceed 24×24 CSS pixels in standard layouts.
  • 3.2.6 Consistent Help — A. Contact information is in the footer in the same place on every page.
  • 3.3.7 Redundant Entry — A. We do not re-ask information already provided in the same session.
  • 3.3.8 Accessible Authentication (Minimum) — AA. Sign-in uses magic-link email or Google OAuth — no memorization, transcription, or cognitive test required.

Measures we take

The following are built into the Service today:

  • Skip-to-content link at the top of every page for keyboard and screen-reader users.
  • Visible keyboard focus rings on all interactive elements via :focus-visible styles.
  • Semantic HTML landmarks — header, nav, main, article, footer — with descriptive aria-label attributes on navigation.
  • Alternative text on meaningful images; decorative images marked aria-hidden or with empty alt.
  • Form labels. All form inputs have programmatic labels and accessible names.
  • Reduced-motion support. Animations are disabled for users with the prefers-reduced-motion setting enabled.
  • Responsive design that works across desktop, tablet, and mobile, and that reflows at higher zoom levels.
  • Color choices selected to maintain readable contrast against our warm, off-white background.
  • Masked sensitive input fields in any session recording.
  • Cookie consent presented in an accessible dialog with keyboard-operable accept and reject buttons.

Known limitations

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We are aware of the following areas that may not yet meet our WCAG 2.2 AA target in every case:

  • Some custom interactive components (modals, carousels, drag interactions in the Practice Studio) may have incomplete screen-reader labels or focus management.
  • Third-party embeds and content from external providers (e.g., Sanity-managed images, payment processor pages) may not be fully accessible.
  • A small number of color combinations may fall below 4.5:1 contrast ratio for small text in decorative contexts; we are reviewing these.
  • PDFs generated from session summaries have not been formally tagged for accessibility.

We are actively working to resolve these.

Assessment approach

This statement reflects internal review and ongoing development. Our process includes:

  • Automated scans during development (e.g., axe-core, Lighthouse).
  • Manual keyboard-only navigation testing of primary user flows.
  • Screen-reader spot checks (VoiceOver, NVDA).
  • Periodic review against the WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria.

A formal third-party accessibility audit is planned. When completed, we will publish the date and a summary of findings here.

Compatibility

The Service is designed to be compatible with current versions of major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) combined with assistive technologies, including:

  • Screen readers: NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack.
  • Browser zoom up to 400%.
  • Operating-system contrast and reduced-motion settings.
  • Keyboard-only navigation.

The Service may not work as expected on browsers more than three major versions old or with JavaScript disabled.
