Accessibility Statement

KShep Creative is committed to providing an inclusive and accessible experience for all clients and learners, including people with disabilities

Last Updated: April 2, 2026

I strive to meet accessibility requirements set forth by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2, Level AA, and continuously review my digital content offerings, such as course materials, websites, and custom e-learning modules, to identify and remove barriers.

Organizational measures

• Include accessibility as part of my mission statement

• Include accessibility throughout my internal policies

• Integrate accessibility into my procurement practices

• Regularly engage in accessibility training and professional development

Accessibility efforts include:

• Ensuring courses, sites, and materials are compatible with screen readers and keyboard navigation

• Providing alternative text for images, transcripts for audio/video, closed captions for recorded video, and maintaining a strong color contrast

• Regularly evaluating deliverables using automated tools and manual tests

• Updating designs and content based on client, learner, and expert feedback

Known limitations

While I endeavor to meet all recommended guidelines, some third-party resources and embedded content may not meet WCAG 2.2 standards.

The blog functionality in Squarespace sets the alt text for the blog post to the blog title. This will result in redundant announcements for screen reader users. A description of blog graphics is included on the page below the blog titles.

The blog index page renders each blog post title as an H1 heading. This is a platform-level behavior in Squarespace that cannot be overridden without custom code. Pages with multiple H1 elements may create a confusing heading structure for screen reader users who navigate by headings. Each post title remains descriptive and unique, which partially mitigates the impact. This limitation is being monitored as Squarespace updates its platform.

The "Read More" links on the blog index page use identical link text for each post. Screen reader users who navigate by links will hear "Read More" repeated without context about the destination. Each post title is also linked and uses unique descriptive text, providing an accessible alternative path to each post. The Read More links are redundant rather than the only navigation option available.

The embedded special education assistant widget may trap keyboard focus in the text field. If that happens, you can email your question to kalin@kshepcreative.com, and I will respond by email. I’m actively working on a more accessible embedded experience.
