# Accessibility Statement

Draft — pending legal review

This site is designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines. We use semantic HTML, keyboard-navigable interactive elements, visible focus indicators, sufficient color contrast, and descriptive alt text on informative images.

## What we test

-   Keyboard-only navigation from top to bottom of every page.
-   Color contrast on text, links, and interactive states.
-   Screen-reader labels on all form fields and interactive icons.
-   Responsive layout at 375, 768, 1024, 1440, and 1920 pixels.

## Ongoing work

Accessibility is an ongoing commitment, not a one-time audit. We review the site regularly and welcome reports of any barrier you encounter.

## Office accessibility

For accessibility details about the Siler City office, or to request a telehealth session as an accessibility accommodation, contact us at [jmurphy@shepherds-he.art](mailto:jmurphy@shepherds-he.art).

## Feedback

If you experience a barrier on this website or need information in an alternative format, please email [jmurphy@shepherds-he.art](mailto:jmurphy@shepherds-he.art) and we will respond as quickly as possible.

Next step 

## Ready to try something that works?
