USTR.gov
includes several features designed to improve accessibility for users with
disabilities. Some of these features are described below.
Images on
the site contain 'alt tags,' which aid users who listen to the content of the
site by using a screen reader, rather than reading the site. Likewise, a 'skip
to' link provides these users with a method for bypassing the header and going
directly to the main content each time a page is accessed. In addition to the
features that make the graphics version of the site more accessible, a text-only
version provides added convenience for users.
Users can get
information regarding the accessibility of Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF)
files from the Access
Adobe website.
To improve the
accessibility of USTR.gov, the Office of the United States Trade Representative
has reviewed the site's accessibility with outside web tools. The results of
these reviews have been incorporated into the website. The Office of the United
States Trade Representative welcomes comments on how to improve the site's
accessibility for users with disabilities.
