1. Our Commitment to Accessibility

We believe that creativity, learning, and fun should be accessible to everyone. We are actively working to improve the accessibility and usability of our Website in compliance with relevant accessibility standards and regulations, including:

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA: We strive to meet or exceed these internationally recognized guidelines for web accessibility.
• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): We aim to comply with the accessibility requirements of the ADA.
• Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act: We consider Section 508 standards in our accessibility efforts.
• European Web Accessibility Directive: We are mindful of these requirements for users in the EEA.

Our goal is to create a barrier-free experience on Sketch Kiddos, making it easy for families, educators, and users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies, to engage with our content.

2. Web Accessibility Features

To support an inclusive digital experience, we have implemented or are working on implementing the following web accessibility features:

A. Text & Readability Enhancements

• Zoom Compatibility: The site should be compatible with browser zoom functions, allowing users to increase text size without loss of content or functionality.
• Clear Fonts and Layout: We use legible fonts and maintain a clear, uncluttered layout to enhance readability.
• Sufficient Contrast: We aim for adequate color contrast between text and background elements to ensure visibility for users with visual impairments.

B. Keyboard & Navigation Support

• Keyboard Navigation: The entire website is designed to be navigable using a keyboard alone, without needing a mouse.
• “Skip to Content” Links: We provide “skip to content” links to allow users to bypass repetitive navigation elements quickly.
• Logical Structure: Our website uses a logical HTML structure with appropriate semantic tags to help users navigate and understand content using assistive technologies.

C. Screen Reader Compatibility

• Alt Text for Images: We provide descriptive “alt text” for all meaningful images to convey their content to users who are blind or visually impaired and use screen readers.
• ARIA Landmarks and Roles: We utilize Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) landmarks and roles to improve navigation and understanding for screen reader users.
• Descriptive Labels: Interactive elements like links and buttons have informative labels to clearly indicate their purpose.

D. Video & Multimedia Accessibility

• Captions and Transcripts: Where possible and applicable, we provide closed captions for videos and transcripts for audio content.
• No Auto-Playing Media: We avoid auto-playing videos or audio to prevent unexpected noise and give users control over media playback.
• Visual Cues: We strive to include visual cues for interactive content or important information.

3. Third-Party Content & Limitations

Our Website may include embedded content or links to resources from third-party platforms (e.g., YouTube videos, Pinterest pins, social media feeds, third-party advertisements). While we choose our partners carefully, we may not have direct control over the accessibility of content hosted on these external sites.

While we cannot guarantee the accessibility of all third-party content, we aim to work with partners who are also committed to accessibility and encourage more inclusive integrations where possible.

4. Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is not a one-time project but an ongoing commitment. Our efforts to improve accessibility are continuous and include:

• Periodic Audits: Conducting regular accessibility audits and evaluations of our Website using automated tools and manual testing.
• Team Training: Providing training to our content creators and technical team on best practices for creating accessible digital content.
• Feedback-Driven Improvements: Actively seeking and incorporating feedback from users regarding accessibility barriers.
• Monitoring Standards: Staying informed about emerging accessibility standards and best practices.

We are always open to suggestions and feedback to help us enhance the experience for everyone.
