Accessibility Policy

Purpose

Simformotion LLC is committed to supporting digital technology that offers individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate. The company’s commitment is based on principles of equity and inclusion and because website accessibility can enhance usability and learning experience for everyone. This Website Accessibility Policy (the Policy) sets forth the actions we must take to meet its commitment to accessibility. 

Scope

This Policy applies to staff who design, develop, modify and maintain our Websites and LMS 

Definitions

  • Accessibility: The degree to which individuals with disabilities have independent and timely access to and use of websites or web-based applications, in some instances with the help of assistive technologies. 
  • Content: Information and sensory experience to be communicated to the user by means of a user agent, including code or markup that defines the content’s structure, presentation, and interactions; includes, but is not limited to, video, text, images, documents and underlying code. 
  • Website: Any website or web-based application within the Simformotion (simformotion.com, Cat Simulators (catsimulators.com) or  SimScholars (lms.simscholars.com) domains. Websites do not include sites that are independent of the company (including sites that are linked to from the our Websites). 

Third-party forms and plug-ins are independent of the company and may not meet accessibility standards. 

  • WCAG: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, a series of guidelines intended to provide recommendations on how to make online content accessible to individuals with disabilities or those using assistive technology. 

Accessibility Standard

For the purposes of this Policy, Simformotion will use the WCAG 2.0 AA as adopted by the Web Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium. Successor standards adopted by the World Wide Web Consortium will also meet the Accessibility Standard. 

Policy Statement

It is the policy of Simformotion that Websites be accessible, including: 

  • Efforts have been made to bring existing content up to standards. 
  • Efforts will be made to develop new content to meet standards. 
  • New or existing content that does not meet the Accessibility Standard and is not technically feasible or may require extraordinary measures due to the nature of the information or the purpose of the Websites or LMS (i.e., it would create an undue burden by fundamentally altering the nature of the existing content) will be marked as such on the VPAT documents.
