We understand that many users rely on assistive technologies to access the internet. We have designed our website to be compatible with a wide range of these technologies, including:

- Magnification Software: Users can easily magnify the content on our website using browser settings or dedicated magnification software. We have ensured that our website remains functional and readable at various magnification levels.
- Voice Recognition Software: Our website is designed to be navigable using voice recognition software such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking. We have implemented clear and consistent navigation structures to facilitate voice-based control.
- Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements on our website can be accessed and operated using keyboard navigation. We have provided clear focus indicators to help users track their location on the page.
We continuously test our website with these and other assistive technologies to ensure compatibility and address any potential issues. Our goal is to provide a seamless and accessible experience for all users, regardless of their technology preferences.
