Dr. Rachelle Meaux, MD (“the Practice”) is committed to ensuring that our website, located at drrachellemeaux.com (the “Website”), is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We believe in equal access to information and have taken substantial, ongoing steps to ensure this Website meets recognized accessibility standards.

Our Commitment

We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability, technology, or circumstance. We actively work to increase the accessibility and usability of our Website and in doing so adhere to available standards and guidelines.

Standards and Guidelines We Follow

This Website has been designed and developed with reference to the following recognized accessibility standards:

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, at the AA conformance level, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (where applicable)
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility best practices for digital content

Steps We Have Taken

We have taken the following concrete measures to ensure accessibility:

Accessibility Auditing: This Website has been reviewed and tested using industry-recognized automated accessibility testing tools to identify and resolve accessibility barriers.
Semantic HTML Structure: Pages are built with proper semantic markup, heading hierarchy, and landmark regions to support screen readers and assistive technologies.
Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements on the Website are accessible via keyboard navigation without requiring the use of a mouse.
Alt Text for Images: All meaningful images include descriptive alternative text. Decorative images are marked appropriately to be ignored by screen readers.
Color Contrast: Text and background color combinations have been evaluated to meet or exceed the WCAG 2.1 AA minimum contrast ratio requirements.
Readable Fonts and Text Sizing: Text is displayed in readable fonts and is scalable without loss of content or functionality.
No Time-Limited Content: We do not employ timed sessions, auto-advancing carousels, or other time-limited interactions that could present barriers to users with disabilities.
Link Clarity: All hyperlinks are descriptively labeled so that their purpose is clear to users navigating by screen reader.
Mobile and Responsive Design: The Website is designed to be fully responsive and functional across various devices, screen sizes, and orientations.
Minimal Use of Complex Media: Where media is used, it is presented in an accessible manner consistent with WCAG 2.1 AA standards.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, not a one-time task. We are committed to:

Conducting periodic accessibility reviews as the Website is updated or modified.
Re-testing using accessibility evaluation tools following any significant content or design changes.
Training those responsible for Website content on accessibility best practices.
