We have implemented a variety of features to enhance the accessibility of our website, including:

- Sufficient Color Contrast: We have ensured that there is sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to make it easier for users with low vision to read the content on our website.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website without losing content or functionality. This allows individuals with visual impairments to adjust the text size to their preferred reading level.
- Video Captions and Transcripts: All video content on our website includes captions and transcripts to make it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
- ARIA Attributes: We utilize ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information about the structure and functionality of our website to assistive technologies such as screen readers.
