Accessibility Statement
East Bay Hand & Upper Extremity wants everyone to be able to use this website, including people who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, and screen magnifiers.
Our commitment
We are committed to making this site accessible to as many people as possible. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, and we treat accessibility as ongoing work rather than a box to check once.
How we build for accessibility
To work toward that standard, this site is built with:
Semantic HTML with clear landmark regions for screen readers
Full keyboard navigation with a visible focus outline on every control
Text and interface contrast that meets AA
Descriptive alternative text on images that carry meaning
Respect for your system "reduce motion" setting
A layout that reflows and stays usable when text is enlarged
Accessibility tools on this page
Use the accessibility button in the lower corner of any page to adjust how the site reads. Your choices are remembered on this device. These controls are a convenience and a supplement; they do not replace the accessible design of the site itself.
Larger text
Increases the base text size across the whole site so body copy and labels are easier to read.
High contrast
Switches to a stronger black-on-white palette with darker borders for clearer separation between elements.
Underline links
Adds an underline to every link so they are distinguishable by more than color alone.
Readable spacing
Applies a plain system typeface with looser line height, letter spacing, and word spacing for easier tracking.
Pause motion
Stops reveal animations and other movement for a calmer, distraction-free page.
Known limitations
Some content we embed from other providers, such as maps, may not fully meet our standards because we do not control how it is built. Where that happens, we offer a plain alternative. Our address and directions are always available in text on the contact page, and you can reach the office by phone at any time.
Tell us if something is hard to use
If you run into a barrier on this site, or you need information from a page in a different format, please tell us and we will help. Call the office at (510) 451-6950 or send us a message through our contact page. We aim to respond within two business days.
