Dakota Spirit Accessibility Policy

Dakota Spirit is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including individuals with disabilities. We continually strive to improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to support equal access to information, programs, and online services.

Our Commitment

We are dedicated to providing a website that is accessible and usable for all visitors, regardless of ability or technology. Dakota Spirit aims to comply with all applicable standards, including:

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA

• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title III

• Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (where applicable)

These guidelines help ensure that web content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users.

Accessibility Features

To support accessibility, the Dakota Spirit website includes:

• Responsive design for use on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices

• Alt text for meaningful images

• Structured headings and semantic HTML

• Proper color contrast

• Keyboard navigability

• Clear link and button labels

• Descriptive form field labels and instructions

• Compatibility with common screen readers and assistive technologies

We regularly review our site to correct issues and make improvements.

Ongoing Efforts

Dakota Spirit conducts periodic audits, testing, and staff training to ensure ongoing compliance and usability. We work to promptly address any accessibility barriers identified by internal review or user feedback.

We recognize that web accessibility is an ongoing effort and are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website and digital content.

Third-Party Content

While Dakota Spirit strives to ensure accessibility across all website content, some third-party integrations or embedded tools (such as maps, videos, or forms) may not fully conform to accessibility standards. We cannot control the accessibility of third-party platforms, but we encourage vendors to meet WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.
