Accessibility Statement

Family Thread is built for the people who hold families together — parents, liaisons, social workers, nurses, advocates. Many of the people we serve rely on assistive technology to read, hear, and navigate the web. We are committed to making this website, and the Family Thread platform, usable by everyone.

Our standard

We design and build to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. That standard, published by the W3C, is also the benchmark used by the U.S. Department of Education and most state education agencies for digital accessibility in K-12 systems.

What we do

• Provide text alternatives for non-text content (images, icons, decorative graphics).
• Maintain color contrast that meets or exceeds WCAG AA on body text, buttons, and links.
• Support full keyboard navigation, including visible focus states on interactive elements.
• Use semantic HTML, accessible names, and ARIA attributes where appropriate, so screen readers can announce content accurately.
• Build forms with associated labels, clear error messages, and instructions that screen readers can read.
• Respect the user's reduced-motion preference; avoid auto-playing video or audio that cannot be paused.
• Test on screen readers (VoiceOver and NVDA) and on keyboard-only navigation as part of our regular release process.

Known limitations

Accessibility is ongoing work. We are continually identifying and fixing gaps. If you encounter content that is not accessible to you, please tell us — your feedback is the fastest path to a fix.

Need this site in a different format?

We can provide the information on this site in a format that works better for you, including large print, a screen-reader-friendly document, or a phone walkthrough. Just contact us using the details below and tell us what would help.

We aim to respond within five business days and to fix or give you a workaround as quickly as we can.
