Accessibility Statement

Last reviewed October 7, 2026

The Abode of Peace is committed to making our website usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. We keep improving the experience for all visitors and follow recognized accessibility standards.

Our standard

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make websites work for people with a wide range of disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, limited movement, photosensitivity, and cognitive and learning differences.

Our website partially conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partially conforms means that some content does not yet fully meet the standard. The exceptions are listed under Known limitations.

What we have done

• Meaningful images have text descriptions for screen readers, and purely decorative scenery is hidden from them.
• A “Skip to main content” link is provided, and every link and button works with a keyboard and shows a clearly visible focus outline.
• Headings, page regions and lists are marked up so screen reader users can move around the page quickly.
• Text and background colors have enough contrast to be read easily.
• Animations and smooth scrolling are switched off automatically when your device asks for reduced motion.
• Pages can be zoomed to 200% and work on phones and tablets.
• Chinese terms are marked with their language so screen readers pronounce them correctly.

Accessibility adjustments on every page

Select the round accessibility button in the bottom-left corner of any page to adjust the site to your needs. You can:

• make text larger or switch to an easy-to-read font,
• add more space between lines, words and letters,
• turn on high contrast or tone down bright colors,
• highlight every link,
• use a reading guide that dims the page around the line you are reading, and
• stop all animations and transitions.

Quick profiles (Seizure safe, Low vision, ADHD friendly, and Reading and cognitive) turn on several of these at once. Your choices are saved on your device. These adjustments work alongside the accessibility features built into your device and browser, such as screen readers, zoom and high-contrast modes.

Known limitations

• Intake form (PDF): the downloadable intake form is not yet fully accessible to screen readers. Call us and we will gladly go through the form with you by phone or send it to you in another format.
• Map: the map on our home page is provided by Google, and we cannot control its accessibility. Our full address is listed in text on the home page and below.
