Accessibility and usability barriers 

The following information is provided to help people with disabilities know what potential barriers may exist and to help people who support them. This is not a comprehensive list of barriers. Our team evaluates common user flows, looking for patterns of barriers. We do not evaluate the entire application.

Screen reader barriers limit access for individuals using screen readers, such as people who are blind.

The webpages lack page regions. Headings are out of order or skipped. Images are missing alt text.  

Keyboard navigation barriers limit access for people with motor disabilities.

The accordions on the webpages can be opened with a keyboard-only navigation, but there is no keyboard focus indicator to let users know that they are in the accordion section of the page. 

Some contrast barriers exist, creating barriers for people with low vision or who are color blind.

Some of the older pages have navigation items that do not pass color contrast standards when they have keyboard focus.
