Accessibility Statement
Effective August 20, 2026. Last updated August 20, 2026.
Loren Weisman is committed to making lorenweisman.com usable by everyone, including people who navigate with screen readers, screen magnification, voice control, a keyboard alone, or other assistive technology.
Conformance Target
This website targets conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 at Level AA. WCAG 2.2 is backwards compatible with WCAG 2.1, so meeting 2.2 Level AA also meets 2.1 Level AA, which is the standard referenced under the Americans with Disabilities Act for state and local government entities.
This is a target and a working commitment, not a claim that every page has been audited and certified.
What Has Been Done
- One primary heading per page, with headings used in order so a screen reader can move through the structure.
- Headings used for structure rather than for visual sizing, with body copy left as body copy.
- Descriptive alternative text on images so a screen reader can convey what they show.
- Link text that describes where the link goes, rather than repeated generic wording.
- Text and background color combinations checked against the contrast ratios required at Level AA.
- Interactive controls sized and spaced to meet the target size requirement added in WCAG 2.2.
- Keyboard focus kept visible and not hidden behind sticky elements.
- Responsive layout that reflows on phones, tablets, and desktops without a horizontal scroll.
- No function on this site requires a dragging movement to complete.
Known Limitations
Some parts of this website are not fully within our control and may not yet meet Level AA:
- Embedded third party players, including podcast players and video embeds, are rendered by those platforms.
- Some older posts predate the current standards and are being corrected as they are reviewed.
- Some downloadable files, including older PDFs, may not yet be fully tagged for screen readers.
Naming these is deliberate. A statement that claims everything is finished would not be accurate.
If You Hit a Barrier
If any part of this website is difficult to use, or if you need something here in a different format, write to speaking@lorenweisman.com or use the contact page. Please include the page address and what happened. Messages are read, and the goal is to get you what you came for and to fix the barrier itself.
Ongoing Work
Accessibility on this site is reviewed as pages are added and updated, using automated checking together with keyboard and screen reader review. This statement is updated when the target, the known limitations, or the contact route changes.
