Accessibility Statement

Our commitment to ensuring your digital and physical spaces for mental health are inclusive, usable, and welcoming for everyone.

At Jupiter Pines Counseling, we believe that mental health care should be accessible to all individuals, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. We are dedicated to providing a website and clinical environment that adheres to the highest standards of accessibility, in alignment with the Web Content Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

While we strive for full compliance, our digital platform is continuously evolving. If you encounter any barriers while navigating this website or require an alternative format for our content, please let us know. We are committed to making reasonable accommodations to ensure you can access our services and information.

  • We have designed and developed jupiterpines.com to ensure that all users, including those who use assistive technologies (such as screen readers, voice recognition software, or alternative input devices), can access our services effectively.

    Key Features of Our Accessible Design:

    • Keyboard Navigation: Our site is fully navigable using only a keyboard for users who cannot use a mouse.

    • Screen Reader Compatibility: We utilize semantic HTML and ARIA labels to ensure compatibility with screen readers (e.g., NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver).

    • Visual Clarity:

      • High contrast ratios between text and background colors are maintained for readability.

      • Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.

      • We avoid using color alone to convey information (e.g., "Click the red button" is supplemented with descriptive labels).

    • Media Accessibility: All video content includes closed captions, and all images include descriptive alternative text (alt text) for visually impaired users.

  • Given our specialization in supporting neurodivergent individuals (ADHD, Autism, learning differences) and those with chronic illnesses, we have specifically optimized our site for cognitive accessibility:

    • Clear Language: We use plain language and avoid jargon to ensure content is easy to understand.

    • Predictable Navigation: Our layout is consistent across all pages, reducing cognitive load for users with executive function challenges.

    • Focus Indicators: Clear visual cues show where a user's focus is on the page at all times.
