Related Accessibility Principles
NAMAM supports equal access and nondiscrimination for individuals with disabilities. Our approach is guided by:
- Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act — Equal access to programs and activities
- WCAG 2.1 AA — Internationally recognized web accessibility standards
Although NAMAM is a nonprofit and not a federal agency, we voluntarily align with these principles to ensure an inclusive experience for our community.
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is not a one‑time project. it is an ongoing commitment. As we continue to enhance NAMAM.org, we will update this page to reflect improvements and new accessibility features.
