Accessibility Statement
What We Have Done, and What to Do If Something Does Not Work
This statement says honestly what standard the site is built to and where it has not been formally tested.
Our Position
This practice exists because getting to a clinic is not equally easy for everyone. A website that is hard to use would be a strange thing for it to publish.
We want anyone to be able to read these pages and reach us, whatever they are using to do it.
The Standard We Build To
The site is built toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA.
We are not claiming conformance. No independent audit has been carried out, and no site should claim a conformance level it has not had tested. What follows is what we have done and measured ourselves.
What Has Been Done and Checked
The following were measured across every page of the site, not assumed:
- Color contrast. Every text and background pairing in the site's palette was measured. All of them meet or exceed the WCAG AA ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text; the lowest is 4.56:1.
- Reflow. Every page was tested at widths from 320 pixels to 1440 pixels. There is no horizontal scrolling and no content is cut off at any of them.
- Keyboard operation. Navigation, links, buttons and the expandable question panels are all operable from the keyboard, and a “skip to content” link is the first thing a keyboard user reaches on every page.
- Images. Images that carry meaning have text alternatives. Images that are decoration — the photographs behind headings — are hidden from screen readers rather than announced as noise.
- Structure. Pages use real headings, lists and landmarks in order, so that a screen reader or a reading-mode tool can move through them.
- Touch targets. On touch devices, small links are given a target at least 44 pixels tall without changing how the page looks.
- Motion. The site has no autoplaying video, no carousel that moves on its own, and no flashing content.
Where It Falls Short
Stating this honestly matters more than a clean claim:
- No independent accessibility audit has been carried out, and no testing with screen-reader users has been done.
- Some photographs on the site are decorative and carry no text alternative by design. Someone using a screen reader gets the page's meaning from its text, not from the images.
- Long pages — the town pages in particular — are long. There is no in-page table of contents on them yet.
- Documents linked from the site in future, if any, may not have been remediated for accessibility.
These are on the list to address. If one of them is what is standing between you and the information you need, tell us and we will get you the information another way in the meantime.
If Something Does Not Work
Tell us. It is the fastest route both to getting you what you needed and to the site being fixed.
- Telephone
- (516) 357-4247
- info@strengthworkspt.com
It helps if you can say what page you were on, what you were trying to do, and what you are using — a screen reader and its version, a browser, a phone. If you cannot say, tell us anyway.
We will respond, and where a fix will take time we will give you the information you were after by telephone, in plain text, or in large print, whichever you would rather have.
Getting Care Is a Separate Question
This page is about the website. Access to the care itself is a different matter, and the practice is built around it: treatment happens in your own home, so there is no clinic entrance, no waiting room, no parking and no journey to manage.
If there is something about your home, your equipment or how you communicate that we should know before a first visit, say so when you call. It is useful information, not an imposition.
About This Statement
This statement was prepared by the team that built the site, on the basis of their own testing. It will be revised when the site changes materially or when the shortcomings listed above are addressed.
