Accessibility Statement

Our commitment to making our website accessible to everyone

Last Updated: January 1, 2026

Our Commitment to Accessibility

PCA Corporation is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure our website is accessible to all users, regardless of ability.

We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services on the web. This commitment reflects our core values of inclusion and respect for all individuals.

Conformance Status

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conforming to these guidelines helps make the web more user-friendly for all people.

The WCAG guidelines are organized under four principles (POUR):

  • Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive
  • Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable
  • Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable
  • Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies

Accessibility Features

Our website includes the following accessibility features:

Navigation and Structure

  • Semantic HTML: We use proper HTML elements to structure content, making it easier for assistive technologies to interpret
  • Skip Links: A "Skip to main content" link allows keyboard users to bypass navigation and go directly to the main content
  • Logical Heading Structure: Headings are organized in a logical hierarchy (H1 through H6) to help users understand page structure
  • ARIA Landmarks: We use ARIA landmarks to identify key regions of the page
  • Consistent Navigation: Navigation menus are consistent across all pages

Visual Design

  • Color Contrast: We maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background colors (minimum 4.5:1 ratio for normal text)
  • Resizable Text: Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
  • Non-Text Contrast: User interface components and graphical objects have sufficient contrast
  • Focus Indicators: Visible focus indicators are provided for all interactive elements

Keyboard Accessibility

  • Full Keyboard Support: All interactive elements can be accessed and operated using a keyboard
  • Logical Tab Order: Elements receive focus in a logical order
  • No Keyboard Traps: Users can navigate away from any component using only a keyboard
  • Focus Management: Focus is appropriately managed in interactive components like modals

Forms and Interactive Elements

  • Form Labels: All form inputs have associated labels
  • Error Identification: Form errors are clearly identified and described
  • Instructions: Clear instructions are provided for form inputs
  • Consent Checkboxes: Checkboxes are properly labeled and accessible

Images and Media

  • Alt Text: Informative images include descriptive alternative text
  • Decorative Images: Decorative images are marked appropriately to be skipped by screen readers
  • Image Dimensions: Images have defined dimensions to prevent layout shifts

Responsive Design

  • Mobile Accessibility: The website is fully responsive and works on all device sizes
  • Touch Targets: Touch targets are sized appropriately for mobile devices (minimum 44x44 pixels)
  • Orientation: Content can be viewed in both portrait and landscape orientations

Assistive Technology Compatibility

Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

  • Screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack)
  • Screen magnification software
  • Speech recognition software
  • Keyboard-only navigation
  • Alternative input devices

We test our website with various assistive technologies to ensure compatibility and usability.

Known Accessibility Issues

We are actively working to identify and address any accessibility barriers. Currently, we are aware of the following areas for improvement:

  • Some third-party embedded content (e.g., Google Maps) may have limited accessibility features
  • Video content may not have closed captions (we are working to add captions)
  • Some PDF documents may not be fully accessible

We are committed to addressing these issues and continuously improving our website's accessibility.

Third-Party Content

While we strive to ensure accessibility throughout our website, some third-party content or tools may not be fully accessible. We work with our vendors to encourage accessibility improvements. If you encounter accessibility issues with third-party content, please let us know.
