ION Management Science Lab ("IMSL") is committed to providing a website and services that are accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We aim to comply with all applicable standards and guidelines.

We actively work to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and hold ourselves to a high standard of accessibility best practices.

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.

While we strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website. We are continually seeking solutions that will bring all areas of our site up to the same level of overall web accessibility.

Our website includes the following accessibility features:

• Skip navigation links to bypass repetitive content
• Consistent and predictable navigation throughout the site
• Descriptive link text that makes sense out of context
• Alternative text for all meaningful images
• Form labels and error identification for all input fields
• Sufficient color contrast for text and interactive elements
• Resizable text without loss of functionality
• Focus indicators for keyboard navigation
• Semantic HTML structure for assistive technologies
• ARIA labels and roles where appropriate

Our website can be navigated using only a keyboard. The following keys are used:

Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

• Screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack)
• Screen magnification software
• Speech recognition software
• Keyboard-only navigation

While we strive for comprehensive accessibility, some areas may have limitations:

• Some third-party content or embedded media may not be fully accessible
• PDF documents may have varying levels of accessibility
• Complex data visualizations may require alternative formats

We are actively working to address these limitations and improve accessibility across all content.

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of our website. If you encounter accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us:

We try to respond to accessibility feedback within 5 business days and will work with you to resolve any issues.

We regularly assess our website for accessibility compliance through:

• Automated accessibility testing tools
• Manual testing with assistive technologies
• User feedback and testing
• Periodic third-party audits
