East Texas Council of Governments Accessibility Statement

Updated: December 2023.

General

East Texas Council of Governments strives to ensure that its services are accessible to people with disabilities. East Texas Council of Governments has invested a significant amount of resources to help ensure that its website is made easier to use and more accessible for people with disabilities, with the strong belief that every person has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort and independence.

Accessibility on Etcog.org

Etcog.org makes available the UserWay Website Accessibility Widget that is powered by a dedicated accessibility server. The software allows Etcog.org to improve its compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1).

Enabling the Accessibility Menu

The Etcog.org accessibility menu can be enabled either by hitting the tab key when the page first loads or by clicking the accessibility menu icon that appears on the corner of the page. After triggering the accessibility menu, please wait a moment for the accessibility menu to load in its entirety.

Disclaimer

East Texas Council of Governments continues its efforts to constantly improve the accessibility of its site and services in the belief that it is our collective moral obligation to allow seamless, accessible and unhindered use also for those of us with disabilities.

In an ongoing effort to continually improve and remediate accessibility issues, we also regularly scan Etcog.org with UserWay's <a href="https://UserWay.org/scanner" title="Free Website Accessibility Scanner">Accessibility Scanner</a> to identify and fix every possible accessibility barrier on our site.

Despite our efforts to make all pages and content on Etcog.org fully accessible, some content may not have yet been fully adapted to the strictest accessibility standards. This may be a result of not having found or identified the most appropriate technological solution.
