Accessibility

MethResources.gov includes several features designed to improve accessibility for users with disabilities. Some of these features are described below.

Images on the site contain “alt tags,” which aid users who listen to the content of the site by using a screen reader, rather than reading the site. Likewise, a “skip to” link provides these users with a method for bypassing the header and going directly to the main content each time a page is accessed. In addition to the features that make the graphics version of the site more accessible, a text-only version provides added convenience for users.

Users can get information regarding the accessibility of Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files from the Access Adobe web site. To improve the accessibility of MethResources.gov, the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) asks users with disabilities to review the site and welcomes comments on how to improve the site’s accessibility. Users may also contact BJA by telephone at 800-851-3420 or by fax at 301-519-5212.
