Structure and landmarks
One descriptive h1 per page, a logical heading order, semantic landmarks, a skip link to main content, and a breadcrumb trail that matches the structured data.

Accessibility statement.
The standard this site targets, what has been built for it, what has not been verified yet, and how to get help or report a barrier.
The commitment
WCAG 2.2 Level AA is the target.
For a site whose visitors are frequently in distress, using assistive technology, or reading on an old phone with a poor connection, accessibility is a functional requirement rather than a compliance exercise.
- Standard
- Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2, Level AA, as the design and build target across every public page.
- Scope
- Every page on this public website. The separate applicant and therapist portal is a distinct system with its own accessibility obligations.
- Status
- Partially conformant. Automated and structural checks run on every build; full manual verification with assistive technology has not yet been completed, and saying so plainly is part of the commitment.
What is built in
Verified on every build.
These are asserted automatically, so a change that breaks one of them fails the build rather than reaching the site.
Works without JavaScript
Every page is complete HTML in the first response. Scripting adds the navigation menu, directory filtering, and reveal animations; nothing essential depends on it.
Keyboard and focus
Every interactive element is reachable by keyboard with a visible focus indicator. The navigation menu closes with Escape and traps focus correctly while open.
Images and alternatives
Every image carries an alt attribute, decorative images carry an empty one, and generic alternatives such as “image” or “logo” fail the build.
Motion and contrast
All animation respects prefers-reduced-motion. Color choices target the AA contrast ratio, and no information is conveyed by color alone.
Forms
Every control has a wrapped, programmatically associated label, and status messages are announced through a live region.
Known gaps
What has not been verified.
An accessibility statement that lists only successes is a marketing page. These are the open items.
- Assistive technology testing
- Full manual testing with screen readers across browser and platform combinations has not yet been completed. Automated checks catch structure, not experience.
- Zoom and reflow
- Layouts are responsive and use relative units, but reflow at 400 percent zoom has not been systematically verified on every page.
- Third-party components
- Payment and application flows run on separate services whose accessibility is outside our direct control. Their conformance is assessed separately.
- Documents
- Where downloadable documents are published, their internal accessibility is assessed per document rather than assumed.
Report a barrier.
Email info@litpath.org with the page address and what went wrong. Reports reach a person, receive a reply, and where a fix will take time you get the information you needed in another format in the meantime.
