Accessibility
The Georgia Department of Community Health is committed to providing an accessible online experience for all visitors, including people with disabilities and users of assistive technology.
The Become a CNA website, becomecna.dch.georgia.gov, has been designed and developed to reduce barriers to accessing online content and services. Accessible design features include:
- Easy and logical navigation
- Access to information in a clear and consistent manner for screen readers
- Keyboard accessibility
- Legible fonts and high-contrast colors for easier readability
This website incorporates applicable state and federal accessibility requirements, including ADA Title II requirements for state and local governments. The site is designed to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA technical standards and incorporates best practices from the more recent WCAG 2.2 recommendations.
Accessibility practices implemented on this website include:
- Providing text alternatives for non-text content when appropriate.
- Ensuring that information conveyed through color can also be understood without relying on color alone.
- Structuring web pages so that content maintains its information and structure when presented without associated style sheets.
- Identifying row and column headers in data tables where appropriate.
- Providing keyboard accessibility so that site functionality can be accessed without requiring the use of a mouse.
- Providing a “Skip to main content” link that allows users to bypass repetitive navigation.
- Providing users with the ability to pause, stop, or hide moving or scrolling content when required by accessibility guidelines.
- Designing online forms so that assistive technologies can access the information, form fields, instructions, cues, and functionality needed to complete and submit the form.
- Maintaining sufficient color contrast to improve readability for users with low vision or color vision deficiencies.
