Accessibility Statement

Our digital accessibility commitment

Truth Veteran is dedicated to ensuring digital accessibility for all visitors, including disabled veterans, service members, and individuals using assistive technologies. We believe educational resources on veterans benefits and interactive rating calculators should be fully navigable and readable by everyone.

We aim to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standards. These internationally recognized guidelines define how to make web content more accessible to people with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities.

Accessibility measures and testing

To maintain accessibility standards across Truth Veteran, we implement deliberate design and technical practices:

  • Automated code checks: We integrate automated accessibility checks, including axe-core and Lighthouse audits, into our build workflow to detect markup errors, missing labels, and structural flaws.
  • Keyboard navigation: Our pages and interactive tools are tested with automated keyboard checks to verify focus progression, visible focus indicators, and skip-link mechanisms that allow visitors to bypass repetitive navigation menus.
  • Semantic structure: We structure our articles with logical heading hierarchies (H2 to H4), standard landmarks, and descriptive list elements so screen readers can interpret page outlines accurately.
  • Color contrast and legibility: We maintain strong color contrast ratios between text and background elements to assist readers with low vision, color blindness, or visual fatigue.
  • Descriptive links: We avoid ambiguous link text such as generic anchors, using descriptive text that explains destination resources clearly.

Continuous evaluation

Our calculators and interactive tools are engineered with native HTML elements and accessible form labels to support compatibility with modern screen readers. We review new content and features against accessibility standards and automated validation checks to identify areas for enhancement.
