Accessibility Statement

Effective date: 29 May 2026

Last Updated: 29 May 2026

Garis Counseling is committed to making this website accessible and usable for as many people as possible, including people with disabilities.

I want this website to feel welcoming, clear, and easy to navigate. Accessibility is part of that commitment. Whether you are using assistive technology, navigating by keyboard, adjusting text size, using captions, or accessing the site in another way, my goal is for you to be able to find the information you need with as little friction as possible.

Accessibility Efforts

I am working to make this website accessible by considering features such as:

  • Clear page structure and headings

  • Readable text and sufficient color contrast

  • Alt text for meaningful images

  • Keyboard-friendly navigation

  • Descriptive links and buttons

  • Simple, consistent layout

  • Compatibility with commonly used browsers and assistive technologies

Ongoing review of website content and design

This website aims to follow widely recognized accessibility practices, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, often referred to as WCAG. W3C describes WCAG as standards intended to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities.

Ongoing Work

Accessibility is an ongoing process. While I make reasonable efforts to keep this website accessible, some areas may not work perfectly for every person, device, browser, or assistive technology. There may also be third-party tools or links on this website, such as scheduling platforms, client portals, maps, embedded forms, payment systems, social media links, or external resources. I do not control every part of those third-party platforms, but I will do my best to choose tools that support accessibility whenever possible.
