The accessibility of a website indicates the degree to which any person regardless of their physical or technical limitations can access all the content, in the same way as a person without disabilities.
This website complies with the international recommendations of the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the W3C, complying at a Double-A (AA) level by applying the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.0 (WCAG 2.0).
Web Standards
All pages on this website have been developed using the web standards recommendations defined by the W3C.
XHTML 1.0 and the presentation layer has been developed with CSS 3.
Aids for navigation
Access keys
Most browsers support going directly to specific links by pressing certain key combinations (hotkeys) defined on the website.
We have enabled hotkeys that make navigation easier:
S: Skip to main content
0: Accessibility
1: Home
2: Company
3: Services
4: Products
5: Snoezelen
6: News
7: mailing list
8: contact
9: Web map
The use of access keys depends on the browser:
- Internet Explorer: ALT + shortcut + ENTER
- Firefox: ALT + SHIFT + shortcut
- Opera: SHIFT + ESC + shortcut
Hidden Menu: Web pages have a hidden link to jump directly to the main content of the page, bypassing the main menu area, which is useful for all those screen reader users who don’t want to “hear” this menu . We can also do it using the S hotkey.
Forms: All form elements have been tagged to expand the activation area and for better recognition by screen readers.
Links: Many links have attributes that describe the link in detail, unless the link text itself fully describes the destination of the link (eg linking to a news item by its title). Links have been written to make sense out of context.
Images: All images contained in these pages include a short description in the ALT attribute.
