Our Commitment

Clarity House Press is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure our website and publications are accessible to all users.

Standards and Guidelines

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone. Our goal is to meet or exceed these standards across our digital properties.

• Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements can be accessed using a keyboard

Book Accessibility

Our published books are available in multiple formats to accommodate different accessibility needs:

If you require a specific accessible format not currently available, please contact us and we will work to accommodate your needs.

Trauma-Informed Design

Beyond technical accessibility, we recognize that survivors of abuse may have specific needs related to trauma responses. Our content is designed to:

• Provide clear content warnings where appropriate
• Use calming, professional color schemes
• Offer predictable navigation and structure to reduce cognitive load
• Avoid sudden animations or auto-playing media that may be triggering
• Provide crisis resources prominently throughout our content

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, we acknowledge that some areas may not yet meet all standards. We are actively working to identify and address these issues. If you encounter any accessibility barriers, please let us know so we can work to resolve them.

Third-Party Content

Our website may include content from third-party services (such as payment processors or social media platforms). While we select partners who prioritize accessibility, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content. If you experience issues with third-party content, please contact us and we will work to find an alternative solution.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing commitment. We regularly:

• Test our website with assistive technologies
• Conduct accessibility audits and reviews
• Train our team on accessibility best practices
• Incorporate user feedback to improve accessibility
• Update our content to meet evolving standards
