Accessibility Statement.

Last updated: March 14, 2023

Our Commitment

ETTE is committed to digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards. Our goal is for our website to be perceivable, operable, understandable, and usable for all users.

Measures We Take

  • Accessibility is integrated into our internal policies and development practices
  • Accessibility responsibilities are assigned to designated staff
  • Staff receive ongoing training on accessibility standards and techniques
  • Clear accessibility goals and accountability structures are established
  • People with disabilities are included in our design and evaluation processes

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. ETTE's website partially conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partial conformance means that some content areas may not yet fully meet all requirements.

Supported Assistive Technologies

This website is designed to be compatible with screen readers (including NVDA and JAWS on Windows and VoiceOver on macOS and iOS), screen magnification at up to 200% zoom, and keyboard-only navigation. We test across common browser and assistive-technology combinations on Windows and macOS.

PDF Documents

Where PDF documents are provided on this website, we review them for accessibility and continue improving tagging, reading order, and alternative text as part of our accessibility program.

Known Limitations

  • Some third-party video content may lack proper captions. This content is hosted and controlled by external providers and is outside our direct control; we are working to address it.
  • Some interactive components have accessibility constraints due to third-party dependencies. We are evaluating alternatives.

Feedback and Contact

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of the ETTE website. If you experience any barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact our accessibility team at 202-345-1965 or [email protected] (use a subject line beginning with "Accessibility"). We aim to respond within 2 business days and to propose a solution within 10 business days.

Formal Complaints

If you are not satisfied with our response to your accessibility concern, you may contact the relevant national or regional oversight body in your jurisdiction. In the United States, accessibility complaints regarding federal contractors may be directed to the U.S. Access Board.
