This website.
We strive to uphold the principles and best practice of the WCAG 2.0 A guidelines wherever possible, extending to AA and AAA as much as we can. Our main objective is to implement real world accessibility, resulting in people with impairments finding our site accessible and usable in practice. Accessibility training is compulsory for everyone who uploads content to the ADD International website and will ensure all web editors understand our legal, moral and practical responsibilities towards users with disabilities.
