ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Amen Clinics, Inc. is dedicated to ensuring digital accessibility for individuals of all abilities. We continuously refine the overall user experience across our digital platform, applying established accessibility standards and embedding inclusive design practices into our core software development lifecycle. Our objective is to guarantee that our primary web portal, amenclinics.com, remains fully usable and navigable by all visitors, regardless of the technology or assistive devices they employ.

Our Commitment and Standards

We actively align our digital resources with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA performance standards. These comprehensive benchmarks define technical requirements for making web content accessible to individuals with a broad range of visual, auditory, physical, and cognitive capabilities, while simultaneously optimizing everyday site usability for every visitor.

Audit, Remediation, and VPAT Execution

To establish a verifiable foundation of digital inclusion, Amen Clinics, Inc. initiated a comprehensive evaluation of our site architecture. Our technical roadmap encompassed three distinct phases of quality assurance and conformance reporting:

  1. Comprehensive Manual Audit: Human accessibility specialists performed rigorous code inspections alongside manual evaluation protocols. Testing covered screen readers including NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver, keyboard-only navigation pathways, desktop screen magnification tools, and high-contrast color analysis across all core landing pages, patient intake forms, and online health assessments.

  2. Targeted Code Remediation: Following the findings of our manual evaluation, our engineering team systematically eliminated identified accessibility barriers. Remediation efforts focused on refactoring structural markup, adjusting DOM focus ordering, repairing ARIA attributes, and validating semantic heading structures across the platform.

  3. VPAT Conformance Reporting: We authored an official Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) to formally document our Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level A and Level AA compliance metrics alongside Section 508 standards. This document serves as a detailed transparency record detailing our technical conformance status.

Key Technical Improvements

Following our manual audit, we executed systematic front-end and back-end updates throughout amenclinics.com to provide a fluid experience for visitors navigating via assistive technology.

We established a logical, fully predictable tab navigation order across all page templates, created high-visibility focus indicators around interactive elements, and built “Skip to Main Content” links so keyboard users can easily bypass header menus.

We upgraded website markup using semantic HTML5 elements and implemented dynamic ARIA properties—specifically aria-expanded, aria-live, and aria-controls—to ensure slide-out navigation drawers, dropdown menus, and interactive modal dialogs properly announce status updates to screen reader engines.

All form fields and clinical assessment inputs were programmatically linked to explicit label elements. We integrated clear error identification routines that announce validation issues directly to screen readers, while ensuring every health quiz and intake form can be completed without a mouse.

Finally, we calibrated color contrast ratios across body copy, UI buttons, and functional icons to meet or exceed the mandatory 4.5:1 ratio, while adding detailed, non-decorative alt text across all key site graphics, patient guides, and informative medical infographics.

Ongoing Maintenance and Monitoring

Digital accessibility requires continuous oversight. To maintain steady conformance during future site releases, Amen Clinics, Inc. performs routine manual checks, runs automated compliance scans, and integrates accessibility checkpoints directly into our daily web development workflows.

Known Limitations and Third-Party Resources

While we work diligently to ensure that every page on amenclinics.com complies with accessibility standards, occasional limitations may exist within complex legacy content or integrated third-party applications, such as external video players or embedded partner software. We consistently advocate with our vendors to ensure their tools meet our strict digital inclusion criteria.
