Accessibility Standards | Montana Department of Administration

We strive to adhere to these standards to ensure our web content is accessible, inclusive, and user-friendly:

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1: This globally recognized standard ensures that web content is accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments. WCAG 2.1 builds on WCAG 2.0 and focuses on making content perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust across all devices, from desktops to mobile phones.
Level AA Compliance: This level strikes the right balance between accessibility and practicality. It includes key requirements like providing text alternatives for non-text content, maintaining a minimum color contrast ratio for text, and ensuring captions for multimedia content.
Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) Suite 1.2: This framework enhances accessibility for dynamic web content and applications by enabling assistive technologies to interpret complex user interfaces effectively.
