ADVA is committed to providing access to our website for all visitors.  To ensure equal access to electronic and information technologies, the State of Alabama has developed a set of standards for web page design. Just as physical spaces can inhibit individuals with disabilities, the Internet poses an entirely new set of obstacles. In consideration of individuals with visual, physical, or developmental disabilities, the State of Alabama has adopted a policy to make government information accessible to all.

If you discover an accessibility issue, you may access the information by calling us at 334-242-5077 and someone will assist you.

If you would like to report an accessibility issue, please use the contact form at https://va.alabama.gov/contact/.  Be sure to include these details:

Where you found the issue. If you can, include the webpage address (or URL) of the page.
The type of assistive technology you were using when you found this issue. For example, tell us if you were using a screen reader, magnifier, refreshable Braille display, speech recognition software, haptic device, or switch.
Your contact information (if you want us to contact you if we need more details).
Any other information you think will help us fix the issue.

When you report issues, you help us fix them for everyone in the future.

 

Design Standards Statement

The design standards utilized by ADVA are influenced by those recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Access Board, an independent federal agency that promotes accessibility for people with disabilities. The Access Board is responsible for developing the standards outlined by the amended Rehabilitation Act of 1998. Universal design calls for appropriate use of auxiliary aids and services where necessary to ensure communication.  ADVA will continue to strive to meet the recommendations of the W3C, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requirements as determined by the Access Board and the needs of our clients.
