Accessibility Statement

The Barnabas Group, Inland Empire wants this website to be usable by everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboards-only, magnification, or other assistive technology. This page is a plain account of where we are with that goal — what we’ve built in, what we haven’t formally tested, and how to tell us when something doesn’t work for you.

Our target

We aim to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA . We treat this as a working target, not a certification. We don’t claim full conformance — we’ve worked to build the site in line with these standards and we keep improving as we find gaps.

What we’ve built in

• Keyboard navigation. Every interactive element on the site can be reached and activated with a keyboard. A visible focus indicator (an outline in our brand’s signal color) marks the focused element on every page.
• Skip-to-content link. The first focusable item on every page is a “Skip to main content” link that bypasses the header navigation for keyboard and screen-reader users.
• Semantic HTML and heading hierarchy. Each page uses landmark elements (header, main, footer) and a logical heading order so screen readers can build a usable outline.
• Reduced-motion support. We honor the prefers-reduced-motion setting at the system level. If you’ve asked your device to limit animation, our scroll-triggered transitions and decorative motion are disabled.
• Form labels and error states. Form fields are associated with visible labels, and errors are announced in a way assistive tech can pick up.
• Self-hosted fonts. The typefaces you see are served from our own origin. This avoids the layout shifts and blank-text moments that third-party font loading can cause.
• No tracking scripts. We don’t load analytics, advertising, or third-party widgets. This reduces the surface area for unexpected accessibility regressions introduced by code we don’t control.

What we haven’t done yet

We want to be honest about this part, because accessibility statements that claim full compliance without evidence are part of the problem.

• We have not yet had this site audited by an external accessibility testing firm or by individuals who use assistive technology daily.
• We have not yet performed formal screen-reader testing with NVDA, JAWS, or VoiceOver. We’ve relied on standards conformance and automated checks; we plan to add manual testing.

Known limitations

We’ll keep this list current. If you find something that should be here, please tell us.

• Embedded third-party content (for example, externally hosted video, if we ever add it) may not meet our internal standards. We’ll disclose specific embeds here when they exist.

Tell us when something doesn’t work

If you hit a barrier on this site — a page that doesn’t read well with your screen reader, a form you can’t complete, contrast that’s too low, focus that gets lost, or anything else — we want to know.

Email info@iebarnabas.org with as much detail as you can share: the page URL, what you were trying to do, the device or assistive technology you were using, and what happened. We aim to respond within five business days. If a fix is needed, we’ll update this page when it ships.

Other ways to reach us

You can also reach The Barnabas Group, Inland Empire through the contact form on our contact page. The form is keyboard accessible. If you prefer not to use it, email is the most direct way to reach us.
