ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
As of March 7, 2023 the World Health Organization estimated more than one billion people worldwide are living with disabilities, with over 100 million people having significant difficulties in functioning (for more information, see https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/disability-and-health).
Many of these disabilities can affect access to information technologies. The same individuals who run into barriers that impede their access to information technologies could benefit the most from using them.
Accessibility to the web is of critical importance to people with disabilities around the world, including people with auditory, cognitive, physical, neurological, and visual disabilities. It is likewise important to those with accessibility needs due to aging. Accessible web content can also benefit people who are experiencing situational barriers, such as small screens, low bandwidth, or barriers due to language or literacy levels.
We at The Mindful Group, LLC (d/b/a Mindful Age) (“Mindful Age”, “Us”, “Our” or “We”) are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all Users of the Mindful Age Services and/or Our Website (as such terms are defined in Our Privacy Policy), including Users living with disabilities and other impediments to access.
