Accessibility Statement
Last reviewed: September 14, 2026
Hope Therapy Center is committed to making hopetherapycenter.net usable by everyone, including people who use a screen reader, navigate by keyboard alone, magnify the page, or rely on other assistive technology. This statement describes our conformance target, the measures we have taken, what we know is still incomplete, and how to tell us about a problem.
Conformance Target
We are working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. WCAG 2.1 AA is the standard referenced in the HHS Section 504 rule and is the benchmark most commonly used to evaluate healthcare websites, including in ADA Title III matters. This site has been reviewed against that standard, and the measures below reflect that review.
Measures We Have Taken
Across every page of this site, we have built in: a skip link to the main content, a single labeled main landmark, a logical heading structure, visible keyboard focus indicators, real buttons and links instead of elements that only look interactive, labeled and error-associated form fields with a working fallback if JavaScript does not load, keyboard-operable navigation menus and mobile menu with a working Escape key and focus return, accordions that announce their open or closed state, descriptive alternative text on meaningful images, and content that respects a visitor's operating-system preference to reduce motion. We test with automated tooling and by operating the site with a keyboard alone.
Accessibility is an ongoing commitment, not a one-time project. We review this site again whenever we add or redesign a page, and periodically even when nothing has changed, so that regressions get caught.
Known Limitations
Despite our best efforts, some parts of this site depend on third parties whose code we do not control and cannot fully remediate:
- Google reviews widget. The testimonials shown partway down our homepage load through a third-party reviews widget. We cannot guarantee that every interaction inside that embedded widget meets the same standard as the rest of this site.
- Google Maps embeds. The map on our appointment and location pages is a Google-hosted iframe. Its internal controls (zoom, pan, street view) follow Google's own accessibility implementation, not ours. Every location's full address and a driving-directions link are always provided nearby as text, so the map is never the only way to find us.
If you find anything else that is difficult to use, please tell us using the contact information below. We would rather hear about it from you than not know.
Feedback
If you encounter an accessibility barrier on this site, contact our front office. Email frontoffice@hopetherapy.co or call (337) 478-5880. Please describe the page and what happened, and include your phone number or email if you would like a reply. We aim to respond within 5 business days.
If you would rather not use the website at all, both of our locations are always reachable by phone: Lake Charles and Lafayette share the same line, (337) 478-5880.
