Web Accessibility
The American Printing House for the Blind (APH) is committed to inclusion and accessibility in everything we do. These core values are fundamental to the way we work and come through in the experiences we design for people – both in our products and on the web.
With this in mind, we are continuously taking steps to improve APH.org and ensure it complies with the best practices and standards defined by Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines of the World Wide Web Consortium.
Our website is monitored and tested frequently by internal and third-party accessibility consultants and tools. These tools and teams of talented people help us identify usability issues and discover new solutions to further improve the accessibility of our site.
We support all modern browsers and operating systems that are supported by their respective parent companies and take a best effort approach to supporting older technologies such as browsers that are no longer supported by their vendor. We encourage everyone to update to the latest software so they can take advantage of the security it provides, and the modern accessibility features that older technology cannot support.
We understand that not everyone has access to the latest hardware and software and so we offer assistance by phone and email for anyone who may experience difficulty, and we welcome feedback to assess issues and help make the experience better.
Contact customer service by phone at 800-223-1839 (U.S. and Canada) or via email at support@aph.org. Hours are Monday through Friday 8:00am to 8:00pm Eastern Standard Time.
