More than one billion people worldwide encounter barriers when trying to read and understand content online. To ensure our website is accessible, we partnered with Recite Me to add a small assistive widget/toolbar that integrates with our website. The widget specializes in digital inclusion to help website properties become more accessible for those with various needs including, but not limited to; disabilities, learning difficulties, visual impairments, or language barriers.
