Accessibility Statement

 As an educator dedicated to serving students with diverse learning needs, accessibility is at the heart of everything I do—both in my classroom and on this blog.

FUNSHINE is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all visitors, including educators, students, parents, and professionals in the special education community. I continually work to improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards.

My Commitment

I strive to make this blog accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. To achieve this, I am actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of my website and adhere to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.

Accessibility Features

This website includes the following features to support accessibility:

• Clear Navigation: Consistent navigation structure with a "Skip to main content" link for keyboard users
• Readable Text: Clear fonts and appropriate text size with good contrast ratios
• Alternative Text: Images include descriptive alt text when provided by the platform
• Descriptive Links: Link text that clearly describes the destination or purpose
• Organized Content: Proper heading structure (H1, H2, H3) for screen reader navigation
• Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard

Platform Limitations

This blog is hosted on Blogger, which provides the underlying infrastructure. While I work within these constraints to maximize accessibility, some limitations are determined by the platform's default features and templates.

Downloadable Resources

Educational resources and materials shared through TeachersPayTeachers and other platforms are designed with accessibility in mind, including:

• Clear, readable fonts
• High-contrast color schemes
• Differentiated materials for various learning needs
• Visual supports and scaffolds for diverse learners

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing journey. I am continuously learning and improving. Current efforts include:

• Regular content reviews for accessibility compliance
• Testing with assistive technologies when possible
• Updating older content to meet current accessibility standards
• Seeking feedback from users with diverse needs

Third-Party Content

This blog may contain links to external websites and embedded content (such as social media feeds, videos, and external resources). I cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content but strive to select and share resources that prioritize accessibility.

I welcome feedback on the accessibility of FUNSHINE. If you encounter any barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact me. Your feedback helps me create a more inclusive experience for all visitors.

I am committed to responding to accessibility concerns promptly and making reasonable efforts to address them.

A Note About My Practice

As a National Board Certified Teacher specializing in special education and English learners, I understand firsthand the importance of removing barriers and creating inclusive spaces. The same principles that guide my classroom instruction—Universal Design for Learning, differentiation, and student-centered approaches—inform how I approach this blog's accessibility.

Every student deserves access to quality education and resources. Every educator deserves access to practical, research-based strategies. This commitment drives my ongoing efforts to make FUNSHINE as accessible as possible.
