Commitment to Accessibility
North Florida Pediatrics (“NFL Pediatrics, we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all patients, families, and visitors, including individuals with disabilities.
We strive to provide a website experience that is inclusive and accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. Our goal is to meet or exceed the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, the recognized benchmark for web accessibility in the United States.
-
Accessibility Target Standards We Follow
We aim to align our website with the WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards. This target standard guides our accessibility efforts and ongoing improvements.
2.1 Current Conformance Status
Based on our internal review, this website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This status reflects our evaluation at the time of publication. It is based on our internal review and available information. Accessibility is an ongoing process, and conformance levels may evolve as updates are implemented

Accessibility Features on Our Website
- To support accessibility, this website includes the AccessYes accessibility interface. This interface allows users to adjust certain visual and usability settings according to their individual needs, such as:
We have implemented the following measures to improve accessibility: Text size and spacing adjustments, contrast and color settings, highlighting tools, among other assistive viewing options. These tools are intended to improve user experience, but do not replace the need for accessible content and proper underlying website structure. For that purpose, we are constantly improving and developing our website’s structural elements to provide:
- Alternative text for meaningful images.
- Logical heading structure (H1–H6) for screen readers.
- Keyboard-friendly navigation.
- High-contrast, readable color combinations.
- Accessible online forms with proper labels and error guidance.
- Responsive design for mobile and tablet users.
- Captioning or transcripts for multimedia content (when applicable).
- Skip navigation links for faster browsing.
- Limitations and Technical Considerations (Please note the following)
The availability and effectiveness of accessibility features depend on the website’s configuration and ongoing maintenance.
While we strive to ensure accessibility across https://nflpediatrics.com, some content or features may not yet fully meet the selected accessibility standards. Some content may be provided by third parties or affected by technical constraints beyond our immediate control.
Additionally, there may be certain legacy content or integrations that may not yet fully align with the selected accessibility standard. We are actively working to identify and address accessibility barriers within our control.
