ACCESSIBILITY
Accessibility statement
Guideline Calculator is intended to be usable by people relying on keyboards, screen readers, magnification, high-contrast settings, mobile devices, and printed output. The site aims to follow WCAG 2.2 Level AA practices where practical as part of an ADA-oriented accessibility program.
Current accessibility status
This public beta is not claiming third-party ADA certification or legal compliance certification. The current goal is practical accessibility: semantic HTML, labeled inputs, keyboard-accessible controls, visible focus styles, responsive layouts, readable contrast, printable results, and text alternatives for meaningful non-text content.
Measures built into the site
- Calculator fields use visible labels and helper text connected to form controls.
- Buttons, links, state selectors, and hover-help controls are keyboard reachable.
- Focus states are visible for keyboard users.
- The page structure uses headings, landmarks, tables with row headers, and skip navigation.
- Calculator output is available as on-page text and printable/exportable summaries.
- The layout is responsive for smaller screens and browser zoom.
- The calculator avoids relying on color alone to communicate critical information.
Known limits
Generated PDF, PDF, and browser print outputs depend partly on the user's browser, assistive technology, and office software. Third-party advertising, analytics, official court pages, and external resources are controlled by their own providers. Some state modules remain under source review and may not have complete worksheet output yet.
Feedback and accommodation requests
If you have trouble using any part of the site, send the page URL, browser/device, assistive technology if applicable, and a short description of the barrier to accessibility@guidelinecalculator.com. If a calculator workflow is blocking access, request the information in an alternate format and identify the state page involved.
Ongoing review
Accessibility checks should be repeated when new state forms, financial-intake fields, ad placements, analytics scripts, exports, or navigation changes are added. Issues that block calculator use or legal notices should be prioritized over cosmetic defects.
