Website Accessibility Statement

It is the goal of Hudson Valley RBERN at Southern Westchester BOCES that the information on our website is accessible to individuals with visual, hearing, or cognitive disabilities.

Good faith efforts have been made to ensure that our website complies with New York State standards on website accessibility (New York State OFT Policy, P04-002, Accessibility of State Agency Web-based Intranet and Internet Information and Applications) and with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to the best of our technical ability.

The majority of pages in our site are available in HTML format, which can be deciphered by screen readers. Some documents are in Adobe PDF format, which require Adobe Acrobat Reader to view. If you do not already have Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer, you can download it for free from the Adobe website. Some features on this site may require the Adobe Flash Player to view. If you don’t have the Adobe Flash Player, please visit the Adobe website to download it.

As part of the Hudson Valley RBERN at Southern Westchester BOCES' commitment to Accessibility, we have adopted a leading-edge Web Accessibility solution called AudioEye.  AudioEye's toolbar helps ensure that our websites are optimized to provide users with an accessible experience by conforming to WCAG 2.0 Level AA guidelines.  In addition, the AudioEye technology includes a toolbar, which includes a suite of free assistive web personalization utilities that allow our users to customize their unique user experience to meet their needs.
