Accessibility
Lodestar Consulting, Inc. is committed to creating and maintaining a culture in which everyone feels included and enabled to do their best work. We strive hard to create content and create environments free of barriers, so that all people can be independent, productive, and can fully contribute. In this spirit, we believe that visitors of our website should have a choice on how they view content, and are committed to providing a website that incorporates leading web accessibility practices.
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794d), as amended in 1998, is a federal law that requires agencies to provide individuals with disabilities equal access to electronic information and data comparable to those who do not have disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. The Section 508 standards are the technical requirements and criteria that are used to measure conformance within this law.
Please visit https://www.section508.gov/ for more information on this important program.
Our website has been developed in compliance with Section 508 standards, and also in line with the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1 AA). Accessibility considerations include supporting common browsers, optimizing for a variety of devices and resolutions, adding captions to videos, having transcripts for podcasts, using accessible webpage templates, including alternative text for images, using color and contrast appropriately, designing consistent navigation and search mechanisms, and ensuring usage by keyboard and screen readers.
