Accessibility

The Data Resource Center for Child and Adolescent Health (DRC) provides an interactive website with graphs, charts, tables and other interactive media. The site seeks to provide actionable data and information that is easy for all to use.

This website strives to ensure that its design meets the accessibility requirements outlined in Section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Site Design Guidelines

We strive to meet accessibility requirements in the following areas:

  • Images. This Web site provides equivalent text for images that convey information.
  • Style sheets. This Web site does not require associated style sheets (i.e., pre-designated templates that define the layout of a Web page) to be viewed.
  • Image maps. This Web site provides equivalent text for images (e.g., navigation bars) that perform functions when selected (e.g., open a new window, navigate through the site).
  • Tables. This Web site provides row and column headers for data tables.
  • Frames. This Web site does not include frames (i.e., separate sections of the display area that are generated from different Web pages).
  • Motion. This Web site sites does not include motion that causes the screen to flicker outside an acceptable range (i.e., higher than 2Hz and lower than 55Hz).
  • Text-only pages. This Web site follows HRSA guidance in adding links to the Adobe Acrobat™ Accessibility site to provide users with a tool for converting PDF files to HTML.
  • Scripts. This Web site identifies the functionality of any scripting languages (e.g., Java and Javascript) used to display content or to create interface elements.
  • Applets and plug-ins. This Web site avoids the use of applets (i.e., programs designed to be executed from within another program) and plug-ins (i.e., programs that add features to a standard browser), and, when such programs are used, the site includes links to external Web sites that provide such applets or plug-ins via download.
  • Forms. This Web site allows for easy access to and completion of forms.
