Accessibility

The New Era Institute is committed to making its program accessible to all participants, including people with disabilities. This applies to both the online registration platform and the in-person sessions.

Platform Commitments

We design the registration and learning platform to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. That means:

• Every interactive element is reachable and operable via keyboard alone
• Focus indicators are visible at all times
• Color is never the only signal. Error states use icons and text.
• Screen-reader labels are provided for all icon-only buttons
• The viewport supports browser zoom up to 200% without horizontal scroll
• Animations respect prefers-reduced-motion

If you encounter a barrier, please report it. We treat accessibility bugs as priority fixes.

Session Accommodations

We can provide, on request:

• ASL interpretation
• Real-time captioning
• Large-print or digital copies of session materials
• Assistive-listening devices in the meeting space
• Wheelchair-accessible routing to the venue
• Dietary accommodations for any food served

Requests are easiest to fulfill with at least 5 business days’ notice. We will try to accommodate shorter notice when possible.

How to Request an Accommodation

Reply to any program email or with:

• The session(s) you’re registered for
• What accommodation you need
• Any contact preference (email, text, phone)

You do not need to disclose a diagnosis or provide documentation. We take requests on trust.
