Accessibility Statement

Awaken Explorers is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technology such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, and keyboard navigation. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. This site aims to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Conformance means that the content satisfies the WCAG success criteria at that level. Awaken Explorers is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA — some parts of the content have not yet been fully tested against every success criterion.

• Include accessibility as part of our internal design and development standards.
• Ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background colors.
• Provide visible keyboard focus indicators on all interactive elements.
• Provide descriptive alternative text for meaningful images.
• Associate form inputs with explicit, programmatically-linked labels.
• Provide accessible names for icon-only controls via aria-label.
• Structure content with semantic HTML and a logical heading order.

This website is designed to be compatible with recent versions of major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge) and commonly used assistive technologies, including screen readers such as VoiceOver, NVDA, and JAWS.

Despite our best efforts, some content on this site may not yet be fully accessible. Known limitations include third-party embedded content (such as scheduling widgets and payment forms) whose accessibility we do not fully control. We are actively working to address these issues and welcome reports of any barriers you encounter.

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of this website. If you encounter an accessibility barrier or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us:

We try to respond to accessibility feedback within 5 business days.

Awaken Explorers assessed the accessibility of this website through a combination of automated Tailwind/ESLint (jsx-a11y) scanning, manual color-contrast calculation against WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.3, and manual keyboard-navigation testing.
