Accessibility Statement

Our commitment to digital and physical accessibility for all users.

Our Commitment

Access STL is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to achieve this goal.

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We review our platform regularly and welcome feedback to help us improve.

Conformance Status

Partially Conformant — WCAG 2.1 Level AA

Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are actively working to address these gaps and move toward full conformance.
