Fondren Orthopedic Group is committed to making our website available to as many people as possible. We make every effort to ensure website-based communications are accessible to those with visual, hearing, cognitive, and motor impairments by meeting the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Fondren Orthopedic Group acknowledges that internet users with disabilities can find websites difficult to use. We recognize this important issue and are taking necessary steps to ensure that our website is in accordance with known guidelines framed by industry-standard techniques and practices, to provide an acceptable level of accessibility for website users. These include, but are not limited to, the characteristics of usability for most screen reader users, keyboard-only users, and users with impaired hearing and vision.
Fondren Orthopedic Group recognizes that there may be various interpretations of ADA compliance due to the lack of clear and concise published requirements.
We have an internal audit ADA checklist based on industry consortiums and current published criteria, with the goal of improving internet user accessibility; and to communicate how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.
Fondren Orthopedic Group continues to dedicate resources to improve this process and implement new technology and requirements as they become available for Americans with Disabilities. We continue to enhance our website to be compliant with the current World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) guidelines available to us at this time. Current guidelines we are following: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
It is our goal to provide a website that is accessible to everyone. We welcome your feedback. Please send us your questions, comments, or suggestions though our online contact form or by calling our office at (713) 799-2300. Thank you.
Our website uses various technologies that allow persons with disabilities to adjust the website’s User Interface (UI) and design it to their personal needs. You will find an accessibility widget available in the bottom righthand corner of our website to see view of the interface adjustments available to our users.
Additionally, the website uses an AI-based application running in the background to optimize accessibility levels constantly. This application remediates the HTML and adapts its functionality and behavior for screen readers and keyboard functions.
A Skip to content enables those using screen readers or text browsers to skip the navigation features and jump directly to the main content. Keyboard users will find these menus available at any time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating with a keyboard.
Besides adjusting the zoom feature of your preferred browser, people can also take advantage of the three-text size (small, medium, and large) links on the accessibility widget in the bottom righthand corner of the website. You can also change the font family, adjust the spacing, line height, and more!
Using the accessibility widget in the bottom righthand corner, there is an option for people with vision disabilities where one can adjust the color theme. There are variuos color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. In addition, users can swap color schemes of titles, text, and backgrounds with over seven different options.
The accessibility widget offer interface adjustments for all of the following disability profiles: Epilepsy Safe Profiles, Vision Impaired Profiles, Cognitive Disability Profiles, ADHD Friendly Profiles, Blind User Profiles (Screen Readers), and Keyboard Navigation Profiles (Motor-Impaired). Click on the wheelchair icon in the bottom righthand corner of our website to learn more!
