Accessibility Statement

Keystone Freedom Academy (“KFA”) is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that everyone — regardless of ability — deserves equal access to information about our school, programs, and enrollment process.

As a special education school serving students with diverse learning needs, accessibility is not just a legal obligation for us — it is a core value. We strive to make our digital presence as inclusive as our classrooms.

We welcome feedback from users who experience any barriers on our site and are committed to addressing issues promptly.

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those with:

• Visual impairments (blindness, low vision, color blindness)
• Hearing impairments (deafness, hard of hearing)
• Motor and physical disabilities (limited fine motor control, tremors)
• Cognitive and learning disabilities (dyslexia, ADHD, memory impairments)
• Speech disabilities
• Neurological conditions and seizure disorders

WCAG 2.1 is organized around four principles: content must be Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust (POUR).

We have implemented the following accessibility features across our website:

Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

• Screen Readers: NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), TalkBack (Android)
• Voice Control: Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Voice Control (macOS/iOS)
• Keyboard-Only Navigation: Full site navigation without a mouse
• Browser Zoom: Content remains usable at up to 200% zoom
• High Contrast Mode: Compatible with Windows High Contrast and browser-level contrast settings
• Text-to-Speech Extensions: Compatible with common browser-based TTS tools

We test our site using a combination of automated tools (such as axe and Lighthouse) and manual testing with screen readers and keyboard navigation.

While we strive for full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, we acknowledge that some areas of our site may not yet fully meet all accessibility standards. Known limitations include:

• Third-Party Video Content: YouTube videos embedded on our site are subject to YouTube's own accessibility features. We encourage users to use YouTube's built-in caption and accessibility controls.
• PDF Documents: Some linked PDF documents (such as the school calendar and child safety kit) may not be fully accessible. We are working to provide accessible alternatives. Please contact us if you need an accessible version of any document.
• Third-Party Platforms: External sites linked from our website (Amazing Raise, Gideon Math & Reading, etc.) are governed by their own accessibility policies.

We are actively working to address these limitations. If you encounter a barrier not listed here, please let us know.

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of our website. If you experience any barriers, encounter content that is not accessible, or need information in an alternative format, please contact us:

We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 5 business days. We will work with you to provide the information or functionality you need through an alternative accessible means.

If you are not satisfied with our response to your accessibility concern, you have the right to file a formal complaint with the following agencies:

• U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR): File a complaint online or call 1-800-421-3481.
• U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division: For ADA-related complaints, visit ada.gov.
• Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission: For state-level disability discrimination complaints, visit phrc.pa.gov.

Keystone Freedom Academy is committed to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. These laws prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities in programs, services, and activities — including digital communications.

As a school serving students with disabilities, KFA has designated a Section 504 Coordinator. If you have questions about our school's non-discrimination policies or need to request accommodations for school-related activities, please contact our administrative office.

Accessibility is an ongoing commitment, not a one-time project. We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website through:

• Regular automated accessibility audits using tools such as axe, Lighthouse, and WAVE
• Manual testing with keyboard navigation and screen readers
• Staff training on accessible content creation and web practices
• Incorporating accessibility requirements into all future website updates and redesigns
• Reviewing and acting on user feedback about accessibility barriers
