Accessibility
Most of the people reading this site are mothers on a phone, late, after the house has gone quiet, working through a guide about a child who learns differently. A fair number of them process written information differently themselves. A practice that assesses learning differences and then publishes a site that is hard to read has a problem with its own subject before it has a legal one. So this page is written plainly and kept honest about what is finished and what is not.
This site is built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.2, at Level AA. That is the international standard most public bodies and courts look to, and it is the build floor used across every site this practice’s agency produces.
In plain terms, Level AA means the site should work if you are using a screen reader, if you are moving through a page with a keyboard instead of a mouse, if you have enlarged the text, if you have low vision or are color blind, or if animation and movement make a page hard to use.
This is the target and the working standard. It is not a certified conformance claim. No third‑party accessibility audit has been completed on this site, so no page here says the site fully conforms.
Commitments where the build supports them, and nothing checked off that has not been checked.
Headings are real headings in order, lists are real lists, and landmarks mark the header, the menu, the main content, and the footer, so assistive technology can move through a long guide by section instead of line by line.
Every link, button, form field, and interactive element can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone, in a sensible order, with a visible focus indicator, and with a skip link to jump past the menu.
Text and interface elements are set to meet the Level AA contrast ratios, and no instruction on this site depends on color alone to be understood.
Text can be enlarged up to 200 percent, and the page reflows to a single column on a narrow screen, without content being cut off or requiring you to scroll sideways to read a line.
Images that carry meaning have text alternatives that describe what they show. Images that are purely decorative are marked so a screen reader passes over them rather than reading out a filename.
The guides gloss every acronym on first use, IEE, IEP, 504, and ERMHS included. Sections are short and subheaded so a page can be read in pieces. Sentences are kept short. This is an editorial standard the practice holds itself to, not a setting.
There is no autoplaying video, no carousel that advances on its own, and no flashing content. Animation is minimal, and the site honors the reduced‑motion setting in your operating system.
The site is built to be read on a small screen first, with generous line spacing, large tap targets, and body text at a size that does not need to be pinched.
A statement that claims perfection is not credible and does not survive contact with a real user. Here is what is outstanding.
If something here does not work for you, that is information the practice wants, and it is worth more than any statement on this page.
Tell us. You do not need to know the technical name for what went wrong. A sentence is enough.
If you can, include the page you were on, what you were trying to do, what happened instead, and the device or assistive technology you were using. If you cannot, send what you have.

Reports about this website go to the practice, and a person reads them.
If a page on this site is not usable for you, the information on it is still available to you. Nothing here is locked behind the website.
Call (559) 287‑8351and tell us which page you were trying to read. Anything published here can be gone through with you by phone, and the free 15‑minute consultation is available to anyone who would rather have the conversation than read the page.
If a written guide would be more usable to you in another format, ask.
Accessibility is not finished at launch. This site is reviewed against the WCAG 2.2 Level AA standard on an ongoing basis, new pages are built to it, and reported barriers are worked through as they arrive. When something is fixed or a limitation above stops being true, this page is updated and the last‑reviewed date at the top changes with it.
