Accessibility Statement

1. Conformance target

SMEG uses Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA as the accessibility target for suprememedicalevaluationgroup.com. This is a target and improvement framework, not a claim that every page or component has been independently certified.

2. Measures we take

• Color contrast. Body text and UI components are designed for strong contrast; automated and manual checks are part of the release process.
• Keyboard navigation. Interactive elements are designed to be reachable and operable via keyboard, with visible focus indicators.
• Skip links. Pages include a "Skip to content" link as the first focusable element.
• Semantic HTML. Pages use semantic landmarks where practical, and form fields should include accessible labels.
• Reduced motion. Animations are designed to respect prefers-reduced-motion: reduce; counters and reveals should collapse to instant state for users who request reduced motion.
• Alt text. Informative images should carry meaningful alt attributes; decorative images should use alt="".
• Forms. Forms should provide visible labels, clear instructions, and accessible error messaging.
• Language. Pages declare lang="en"; in-page foreign-language phrases will be marked with appropriate lang attributes when introduced.
• Color independence. Risk grading uses color paired with text labels and shape so the meaning does not depend on color perception alone.
• Color scheme. Light mode is the launch default with a high-contrast palette.

3. Conformance status

The Site is in an active accessibility-improvement state. Known limitations are tracked and prioritized as the site changes; independent certification has not been claimed.

Known limitations

The following items are currently in remediation:

• Risk-estimator slider labels. Slider values are visible next to each control; additional screen-reader refinements are tracked for the next accessibility pass.
• Animated stat counters. Counters render the final value statically before animating, but assistive-technology users may briefly hear the in-progress value during scroll. Reduced-motion users always see the static final value.
• Embedded sample audit findings. The Hero sample switcher cross-fades content; we provide visible toggle labels and cross-fade is < 250 ms with reduced-motion fallback to instant swap.

If a barrier is blocking your work, contact us — we will prioritize a reasonable workaround.

4. Compatibility

The Site is designed to be compatible with current versions of the following assistive technologies, paired with current versions of supported browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari):

• NVDA and JAWS on Windows
• VoiceOver on macOS and iOS
• TalkBack on Android

The Site avoids features that require specific assistive-technology versions; if you encounter incompatibility, please report it.

5. Assessment approach

Accessibility is improved through a combination of:

• Automated scanning such as axe DevTools or Lighthouse during review when feasible.
• Manual keyboard-only checks for interactive components before public use when feasible.
• Periodic accessibility review as the site changes; third-party audit timing will be documented if/when scheduled.

6. Reporting a barrier

If you encounter an accessibility barrier on the Site, we want to hear about it. SMEG will review reports promptly and work toward a reasonable workaround or remediation plan.

• Email: smeg@suprememedicalevaluationgroup.com (subject: "Accessibility")
• Phone: (818) 468-4099 — Deshaun Dabon, COTA & Founder

Please include the URL of the page, a description of the barrier, the assistive technology and browser you are using, and the outcome you expected.

7. Formal complaints

If our response does not resolve your concern, you may file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice or the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights (for federally funded programs), or with your state attorney general. SMEG will not retaliate against any person for raising an accessibility concern.
