Enhancements for Accessibility
To enhance usability for disabled individuals, we have implemented the following accessibility features on our website:
All pages include links to the Homepage, a search box, a consistent top-level navigation, and a link to the sitemap.
Structured, semantic markup: We use HTML heading tags (H1, H2) to convey the structure of the document, with H1 for main titles and H2 for subtitles.
Font sizes: You can adjust the font size of our website according to your preference using your browser settings. The standard Ctrl and +/- shortcuts are typically used for font size adjustment in most browsers.
Scripting: Although JavaScript improves usability, essential content remains accessible even without JavaScript.
Screen resolution: Our website is designed to be viewed on various devices and screen resolutions.

Accessibility Limitations
While we strive to provide full accessibility to all content on our website, some older pages may not meet all the specified standards. Additionally, due to limitations in our Content Management System, the nesting of heading levels may not always be accurate. Older PDF documents may not be readily accessible to screen readers. Moreover, third-party content linked from our website may have varying levels of accessibility.
