Accessibility Statement

This statement was last updated on May 2, 2026.

At A Sweeter Course, Inc., we are are always working to make our site accessible to people with disabilities.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

We are committed to making our website and all digital content accessible and usable for as many people as possible, including people living with disabilities.

We aim to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards, which help ensure content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.

We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing process. We are continually reviewing our site and updating content to improve the experience for all users.

Currently, we are:

Designing content to be readable and easy to navigate
Using clear headings and consistent structure
Providing text alternatives for images when possible
Ensuring sufficient color contrast
Supporting keyboard navigation
Avoiding flashing or motion-heavy content when possible

Declaration of partial compliance with the standard due to third-party content

The accessibility of certain pages that are linked the site depend on contents that do not belong to the organization, and instead belong to Givebutter. The following pages are affected by this: https://givebutter.com/asweetstart. We therefore declare partial compliance with the standard for these pages.

Accessibility arrangements in the organization

We are committed to creating an inclusive and accessible experience for all virtual and in-person visitors, including but not limited to people living with cognitive or communication differences.

We recognize that accessibility is not only about physical space or digital design, but also about communication, understanding, and feeling welcome.

Communication support

We are happy to provide information in alternative formats when possible. This may include:

Plain-language explanations of programs or events
Visual explanations of programs or events
Verbal explanations over the phone or in person
Extra time for questions or decision-making
Support for communication partners or care partners when needed

Digital accessibility

We aim to ensure our website and digital materials are:

Clear and easy to navigate
Compatible with assistive technologies when possible
Designed with readable formatting and sufficient contrast

Physical accessibility:

When we operate in physical spaces, we aim to choose locations that are:

Step-free or wheelchair accessible when possible
Equipped with accessible restrooms when available
Supportive of reduced sensory load (noise, crowding, lighting) when feasible

We will always do our best to communicate any accessibility limitations for specific events or venues in advance.

Sensory and cognitive accessibility

We understand that busy environments can be overwhelming. We try to:

Reduce unnecessary background noise when possible
Provide clear signage and simple instructions
Allow flexibility for pacing, breaks, and participation

Requests, issues, and suggestions

We are actively working to improve accessibility and welcome feedback to help us do better. If you find an accessibility issue on the site, or if you require further assistance, you are welcome to contact us through the organization's accessibility coordinator:
