Accessibility statement
Accessibility is the subject of my research, and this website is designed to practise what it describes.
Commitment
This website aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, and meets several level AAA criteria.
Features
- Keyboard and switch friendly: every function works with the keyboard alone, with a visible two-colour focus indicator, a “Skip to main content” link and no keyboard traps.
- Large targets: buttons and links are at least 44 × 44 pixels, with generous spacing, to help people with motor impairments, tremor or who use head pointers.
- Display panel: choose a light, dark or high-contrast theme, enlarge text up to 130%, and turn off animations. Your browser’s zoom (up to 400%) also works without loss of content.
- Legible typeface: Atkinson Hyperlegible, designed by the Braille Institute for readers with low vision.
- Screen readers: semantic HTML, landmarks, a logical heading structure, text alternatives for images, language changes marked in the code, and status messages announced politely.
- Motion: animations are subtle and respect your system’s “reduce motion” setting. Nothing moves, flashes or plays automatically.
- Works without JavaScript: all content and navigation remain available.
- No time limits, no CAPTCHAs, no pop-ups.
Known limitations
- Videos are played by YouTube’s player, which this site does not control. Some videos do not yet have captions or transcripts; I am working to add them. Videos in Portuguese are marked as such.
- Press clippings are images of newspaper pages and TV frames. Each has a text description, and the full story is linked where available.
