Website Accessibility

At Connecticut Orthopaedics, we are committed to making our website easily accessible to all visitors. Our site strives to incorporate the recommendations of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0 AA) as published by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). We have implemented various methods to assess our accessibility, not limited to but including manual tests using screen readers and keyboard-only navigation. If you find a part of the site that you feel does not conform to WCAG 2.0 AA, please contact us by phone at 1.203.407.3500 to let us know so that we can make adjustments.
