The Scrub Coach™

Accessibility Statement

At The Scrub Coach™, we are committed to providing an inclusive and accessible online learning experience for surgical technology students, professionals, and other visitors to our website. We believe educational resources should be usable by as many people as reasonably possible, including people who use assistive technologies or have disabilities.

Our Commitment

The Scrub Coach™ is committed to improving the accessibility and usability of our website and digital learning resources. We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as a reference when designing and improving our digital experiences, with a goal of supporting WCAG 2.2 Level AA principles where reasonably practicable.

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We periodically review our website and make improvements as our content, technology, and learning resources evolve.

The Measures We Take

We work to incorporate accessibility considerations into the design, development, and maintenance of The Scrub Coach™ website. Depending on the content and functionality, these efforts may include:

Using semantic HTML and meaningful page structure to support assistive technologies.
Providing descriptive alternative text for images when appropriate.
Supporting keyboard navigation and maintaining visible focus indicators.
Using accessible labels and instructions for interactive controls and forms.
Working to maintain appropriate color contrast between text, controls, and backgrounds.
Designing pages to be usable across different screen sizes and devices.
Working to provide captions, transcripts, or equivalent information for applicable multimedia content.
Avoiding unnecessary flashing or rapidly changing content that may create accessibility concerns.

Accessibility Standards

Our accessibility efforts are informed by recognized accessibility standards and guidance, including:

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, where applicable
EN 301 549, where applicable

Referencing these standards does not mean that every page or piece of third-party content will necessarily conform to every applicable requirement at all times. We are committed to identifying and addressing accessibility barriers as they are discovered.

Ongoing Improvements

We recognize that accessibility requires ongoing attention. As The Scrub Coach™ grows, we may introduce new courses, videos, assessments, booking functionality, forms, and other interactive learning resources. We will work to incorporate accessibility into these experiences and address barriers that are brought to our attention.

Testing and Evaluation

Accessibility may be evaluated through a combination of automated accessibility tools, browser and device testing, keyboard testing, code review, and manual review of website functionality and content.

Because accessibility testing tools cannot identify every potential barrier, we also welcome reports from users who encounter difficulty accessing or using our website or educational resources.

Feedback

We welcome feedback about the accessibility of The Scrub Coach™ website and learning resources. If you encounter an accessibility barrier, please contact us and describe the page, feature, or resource involved and, if possible, the difficulty you experienced.

sky@thescrubcoach.com

When you contact us regarding an accessibility issue, we will make reasonable efforts to understand the barrier and determine an appropriate way to improve access or provide the information in an alternative format when reasonably available.

Limitations and Alternatives

Despite our efforts, some accessibility barriers may occasionally occur. These may result from technical limitations, newly introduced content, third-party services, or content that has not yet been fully remediated.

Some older documents or downloadable resources may not be fully compatible with every assistive technology. When reasonably available, we will work to provide the information in an alternative format upon request.
Some third-party services, platforms, embedded content, or external websites may be outside of our direct control and may not fully conform to applicable accessibility standards.
Certain educational or interactive features may rely on third-party technology, which can introduce accessibility limitations that we cannot completely control.

Assessment Approach

The Scrub Coach™ works to evaluate accessibility through a combination of:

Automated accessibility testing tools.
Manual keyboard and interaction testing.
Responsive testing across different screen sizes and devices.
Review of semantic structure, labels, and interactive elements.
User feedback regarding accessibility barriers and usability.
