LETky Accessibility Statement

Accessibility

LETky recognizes that there is a regulatory obligation to conform to Federal Section 508 guidelines and to the Kentucky Commonwealth Enterprise Standard (which currently uses W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0 Priority 1 as its benchmark). LETky has a further voluntary commitment to the spirit of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), in that every effort will be made to make Web documents as widely accessible (up to and exceeding Priority 3) as possible on a variety of differing user agents. The goal of accessibility is not to only conform to Federal and Commonwealth guidelines, but to guarantee access to information and services to every individual.

Access Keys

Most browsers support jumping to important links by typing special "access keys" defined by the site. For Windows, press ALT + an access key; then press ENTER. On Macintosh, press CONTROL + an access key.

LETky provides the following access keys:

Access key M: Main Content

Access key L: Login Box

Access key H: Home

Access key A: About

Access key C: Certificates & Courses

Access key P: Help

TabIndex

This site implements a logical Tab order. By using your Tab Key you can navigate to all the various major points on the page. For faster keyboard navigation, use the Tab key in conjunction with the Access Keys and Semantic Markup.

Semantic Markup

All pages use structured semantic markup. For example, H1 tags for the title in the content column, and H2 tags for the subheading in the content area. JAWS users can skip to the main elements using ALT+INSERT+1 (H1 tags), and ALT+INSERT+2 (H2 tags).

Link Titles

Each link on LETky.org has a title tags associated with it. All titles start with one of the four options: Link, Link New Window, Link Anchor, or Link Email, followed by a description of that hyperlink. Link, sends the user to a new page within the same window, Link New Window, sends the user to a new page in a popup window with the original page still open in the browser below, Link Anchor, sends the user to a specified anchor point within the current page and Link Email, calls the users' default mail client.
