Accessibility on Douglas.co.us
The County’s website makes available the Website Accessibility Widget that is powered by a dedicated accessibility server. 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.
Enabling the Accessibility Menu
The Douglas County website’s accessibility menu can be enabled by hitting the tab key when the page first loads or by clicking the accessibility menu icon that appears on the bottom left corner of any webpage. After triggering the accessibility menu, please wait a moment for the accessibility menu to load in its entirety.
Website Testing and Remediation
Douglas County continues to constantly improve the accessibility of our site and services in the belief that it is our collective moral obligation to allow seamless, accessible and unhindered use for everyone.
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.
In the Workplace
Current employees needing workplace accommodation should contact Human Resources for support. Prospective employees who have been invited to interview for an employment opportunity should work directly with the person arranging the interview.
