Our Commitment to Accessibility

Total Generational Wellness is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all people, including those with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves equal access to information about generational wellness and the tools to build healthy patterns that last for generations.

We have engaged Jason Fernandez, MA, LMSW of 60 Watts of Clarity as our dedicated accessibility developer to ensure our website meets and exceeds industry standards for accessibility.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

www.totalgenerationalwellness.com strives to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AAA standards. We are actively working toward full conformance and are committed to continuous improvement.

Built-In Accessibility Panel

Our website includes a comprehensive Accessibility Settings Panel that allows users to customize their viewing experience. You can access it by clicking the accessibility icon in the navigation bar. The panel offers the following features:

• Increased Font Size — Scales all text to 125% for easier reading
• Enhanced Text Spacing — Increases line height, letter spacing, and word spacing
• High Contrast Mode — Boosts contrast ratios for better visibility
• Invert Colors — Provides a light-on-dark color scheme option
• Enhanced Focus Indicators — Shows larger, more visible focus rings for keyboard navigation
• Reduce Motion — Disables animations for users who prefer reduced motion

Your accessibility preferences are automatically saved to your browser and will persist across visits.
