Sarah's Accessibility Statement
I want to make my website as accessible as I can, so that the people who come to visit will find the content easy to read and enjoyable. To this end, I have looked at the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 and used my experience as a teacher in special education, to judge the best way of formatting and presenting content.
​
If you notice something that you think I could improve on, please let me know and I will try to fix it. In the meantime, you might like to know that I regularly run accessibility checks through Wix’s own software.
