Accessibility Options
At Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, we are committed to providing an inclusive experience for all users, including those with disabilities. To help improve accessibility, we offer a variety of tools and features designed to support different needs.
Here are the key accessibility options available on our website:
1. Adjustable Text Size
You can easily adjust the size of the text on our website for better readability. Use your browser's zoom function (usually Ctrl+ or Cmd+ to enlarge and Ctrl- or Cmd- to reduce) or adjust font size settings within the site for a comfortable reading experience.
2. High Contrast Mode
For users with visual impairments or those who need higher contrast, we provide a high-contrast mode. Enabling this option will change the color scheme to make text and background colors more distinct and easier to read.
3. Keyboard Navigation
Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard. All interactive elements, such as links, forms, and buttons, can be accessed and used without a mouse. You can navigate through the site using the "Tab" key, and interact with the items by pressing "Enter" or the relevant keys.
4. Screen Reader Compatibility
We ensure that our website is compatible with screen readers. All images, videos, and other multimedia elements have appropriate alt text to provide descriptions for users who rely on screen readers. We also follow best practices for semantic HTML to ensure screen readers can accurately interpret and relay the content.
5. Captioned Videos
For users who are deaf or hard of hearing, we offer captioned videos and transcripts where applicable. Our goal is to ensure that all multimedia content is accessible to everyone.
6. Simplified Layout
For users who may have cognitive disabilities or prefer a more streamlined browsing experience, we provide a simplified layout option. This reduces visual clutter and focuses on the most essential content for easier navigation.
7. Language and Translation Options
We offer translations of key content into multiple languages for non-English speakers. Please refer to the language selector located at the top of the page or on the footer of the website to choose your preferred language.
