Accessibility

North is committed to making our Website broadly accessible, including users with disabilities or impairments that occur with aging. For guidance, we look to the accessibility best practices and standards defined by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) of the World Wide Web Consortium Web Accessibility Initiative (W3C WAI).

This site includes the following features to improve the accessibility of our site:

  • Providing aids to navigation for screen reader users such as:
    • an invisible link which allows a user to skip navigation links in order to get quickly to the main content of the page;
    • proper markup for identifying the page title (i.e. an <h1> element).
  • Providing text equivalents for images and image map hot spots;
  • Programmatically associating labels with form fields;
  • Using valid XHTML 1.0 Strict markup language;
  • Supporting browser settings for enlarging text and user style sheets;
  • Using consistent navigation mechanisms and style of presentation throughout the site;
  • Keyboard navigation of web pages;
  • Although JavaScript is ocassionally used on the North Website, it is not an essential function.

If you encounter an accessibility problem while accessing the North Website, please contact us about the problem.
