The DIFP website is designed to comply with the Missouri IT Accessibility Standard, which is based on the federal Section 508 standard for web sites, and has been designed according to Missouri's Digital Media Developers guidelines for designing for accessibility for disabled users.

Some of the accessibility features we use are:

• Text size that responds to the user's preferences
• Links to allow non-visual users skip over navigation
• Cascading style sheets to format text and layout of our pages
• Tables that allow non-visual users to get data in a meaningful way
• Alternative formats for documents that require plug-ins or additional software.

We have tested most of our pages with Cynthia Says to make sure they meet federal 508 requirements. Some pages may not validate but still are accessible. We have links at the bottom of each web page to allow anyone to test for 508 accessibility.

If you have an accessibility issue with any part of the DIFP website, please contact the web team so we can address it. Let us know what page is not working properly and what browser software you are using.
