Accessibility

How InspectionDay supports assistive technologies and personal display preferences.

Built for Alberta continuing care teams

InspectionDay is designed to be usable with screen readers, keyboard navigation, zoom, and other assistive technologies. We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA as our design standard.

Use the accessibility icon in the header for high contrast, light or dark colour mode, larger text, and an optional dyslexia-friendly font (Atkinson Hyperlegible). Choices are saved in your browser only, not on our servers.

What is included in this release

  • Skip link: keyboard users can jump straight to the main content landmark (#main).
  • Landmarks: pages expose header and main regions.
  • Accessibility settings panel: Escape closes it; while open, keyboard focus stays inside the panel and returns to the trigger when it closes. Each setting group uses native radio buttons with a visible legend.
  • Forms and checklists: controls use native buttons and inputs with visible focus styles on primary actions.
  • Motion: animations and transitions are reduced when your device or browser uses reduce motion (prefers-reduced-motion).

Known gaps

  • We have not run automated contrast checks on every text style and edge case. Tell us if something is hard to read.
  • We do not yet run scheduled testing with every screen reader and browser combination.
  • Printed and exported reports are optimized for review meetings and may not carry full structured document semantics.
