Effective: 2026-05-27

Ottawa Art Therapy (Ottawa Art Therapy Inc.) is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards on our website. 

1. Measures to Support Accessibility

• Ensuring the site is fully navigable by keyboard
• Providing landmarks for faster navigation
• Supporting zoom up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
• Providing alternative descriptions for meaningful images
• Using clear labels and instructions on forms
• Avoiding content that flashes or animates in ways that can trigger seizures or vestibular disorders

2. Compliance Status

Despite our efforts, some areas of this website may not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.2 AA. Known limitations and the steps we are taking to address these limitations are tracked internally. Limitations could include third-party embedded forms, or video content without captions. 

If you encounter a barrier that is not listed here, please let us know.

3. Colour Contrast & Font Sizing

• All text and essential components meet the colour-contrast ratios for WCAG 2.2 AA
• Base font sizes and responsive scaling support readability across devices and browser zoom settings

Where applicable, we aim to align with Accessible Canada Act / AODA (Ontario), informed by the WCAG guidelines.

4. Technical Specifications and Compatibility

• We designed and tested the site to work with current versions of Chrome

5. Service Animals and Support Persons 

Service animals and support persons are welcome at Ottawa Art Therapy in accordance with applicable accessibility legislation. If you plan to attend a session with a service animal or support person, please let us know in advance so we can prepare the space and process appropriately.

6. Feedback and Contact

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of our website. Please let us know if you encounter accessibility barriers via our contact page.

7. Ongoing Improvements

We are committed to continuous improvement. As we add new pages and features, we review them for accessibility and prioritize fixes based on impact and feasibility.

8. Updates

We may update this statement from time to time. We will change the “Effective” date above and post the updated version on the Site.
