Accessibility Statement

Last updated: February 2026

Our Commitment

Rhode Island Spine Center, LLC is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all visitors, including people with disabilities. We strive to provide a positive experience for everyone and are actively working to meet or exceed the requirements of applicable accessibility standards.

Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines define how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.

We recognize the importance of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Section 504 final rule (May 2024), which requires healthcare provider websites to comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.

Current Efforts

Our accessibility efforts include:

  • Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy
  • Descriptive alt text for all meaningful images
  • Sufficient color contrast ratios for text and interactive elements
  • Keyboard-navigable interface elements, including our self-assessment tool
  • ARIA labels and roles for interactive components
  • Focus indicators for keyboard navigation
  • Responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes and zoom levels
  • Form labels and error identification for our contact form

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some areas of the Site may not yet be fully accessible. We are aware that:

  • Some older content may not fully meet contrast requirements
  • Third-party embedded content (such as web fonts loaded from Google) is subject to the accessibility practices of those third parties

We are actively working to identify and resolve any accessibility barriers.
