This investment will not only help make technology accessible to users with sensory, cognitive and mobility disabilities, but ultimately to all users, regardless of ability.

The software allows us to improve our website compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) level AA criteria. This is part of an ongoing effort to make all of the County’s technology compliant with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) level AA criteria.

In an ongoing effort to continually improve and remediate accessibility issues, our website is regularly evaluated by an Accessibility Scanner to identify and fix every possible accessibility barrier on our site. Despite our efforts to make all pages and content on Douglas County’s website fully accessible, some content may not have yet been fully adapted to the strictest accessibility standards. This may be a result of not having found or identified the most appropriate technological solution.
