Accessibility Statement
Commitment to Accessibility
The Los Angeles Regional Consortium (LARC) is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure equal access to our workforce and educational resources.
Standards and Compliance
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.
The LARC website (https://losangelesrc.org/) meets WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance standards and aligns with applicable requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. We have conducted testing to confirm that our website’s interface, navigation, and core web pages meet these guidelines to ensure an inclusive and accessible experience for all users.
Known Limitations & Ongoing Efforts
While the website itself is compliant, we acknowledge that certain materials hosted on our site are still undergoing remediation.
- Downloadable Documents: Some documents currently available on our site (such as PDFs, Word documents, annual updates, or regional reports) may not yet be fully accessible to screen readers or other assistive technologies.
- Our ongoing efforts: LARC is actively in the process of auditing and updating these documents to ensure they meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. Accessibility is an ongoing priority, and we are working diligently to complete this remediation and we are committed to continuous improvement.".
