What this page is for

If you are a person with normal vision and dexterity, you do not need to read this page. If you have low or no vision or are mobility impaired, this page gives some tips on how to access this web site more easily.

Web Page Navigation

All of these web pages are organized the same way. If you use a screen reader, it reads one or two words that identify each web page, and then three links that enable a person to skip directly to the content of the page, the page menu, or this instructional page. (content, menu, accessibility) If the user does not select one of those three links, the screen reader then reads the main content of the page. After that, the screen reader reads a list of menu items that link to other Carly Waugh web pages. Clicking on one of these links takes the user to a new web page and the process starts all over again. Otherwise, the screen reader continues to the footer of the page. Finally, there is a link back to the top of the page.

Access Keys

You can link to the other Carly Waugh Web pages by using Access Keys instead of the menu links. Access Keys are implemented differently by different browsers. Internet Explorer uses the three key combination Alt + x (where x = 0-9, c, m, i or p) followed by the enter key.
Alt + (0-9) brings up the different Carly Waugh Web pages.
Alt + c takes you to the content of the current page,
Alt + m the menu,
Alt + i brings you to this instructional page and
Alt + p takes you to the Privacy Policy web page.
Firefox Version 2.0 uses a three key combination by default. This is a change from earlier versions which use the two key combination alt + x. The newer version uses shift, alt + x by default, but can be changed if you desire. See the Firefox home page for details.
Other browsers may work differently, if at all .

Color Combinations

I have tried to use color combinations that are high contrast and easy to read. You should be able to over-ride the CSS style sheets in order to provide font sizes and colors that you want.

Tab Indexes

You should be able to repeatedly press the tab key in order to skip to the next link on the page.

Finally

I have tried to make these web pages accessible to as many people as possible. Toward that goal I validate all of the Carly Waugh Web pages using XHTML and CSS validation tools. If you find errors, have suggestions, or if it is difficult for you to access these web pages, please let me know and I will try to remedy the situation.
