Accessibility Statement for Hand & Heart Reading Co.

 

Last Updated: March 7, 2026

Hand & Heart Reading Co. (“we,” “us,” “our”) is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive online experience for all users, including people with disabilities. We strive to ensure that our website, https://handandheartreadingco.com, is easy to navigate, usable, and perceivable by individuals with diverse needs.

 

Legal Compliance

We aim to follow the accessibility expectations established under applicable United States laws, including:

  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) – This federal law prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability and guides our effort to provide accessible digital content.

  • Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 508) – Although applicable primarily to federal entities, Section 508 provides useful benchmarks for accessible online content and technology.

  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA – We use these widely accepted technical standards to guide our accessibility efforts and ongoing improvements.

While there is currently no specific Florida state law requiring private‑site accessibility, we adopt and implement recognized best practices to serve all visitors and uphold inclusive digital standards.

We continually work to maintain and expand these efforts.
