The Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (TSSWCB) is committed to making its Web site accessible to all users. To make the site more accessible, we include features designed to improve accessibility for users with disabilities.

Valid HTML and XHTML
All pages on the publicly accessible portions of the TSSWCB web site validate as either HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0 in conformance with specifications recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Alt Tags
Images on the site contain "alt tags" with descriptions of the image, which aid users who listen to the content of the site by using a screen reader, rather than reading the site.

Continuing Efforts
The TSSWCB is working to incorporate the use of "skip links" to further enhance the accessibility of the site. A "skip link" provides users of text readers with a method for bypassing the header and navigation links on a page and going directly to the main content each time a new page is accessed.

In addition, the TSSWCB is working to bring the site into compliance with Conformance Level A (Priority 1) of the W3C's Checklist of Checkpoints for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0.
