Value Driven Solutions (VDS) is dedicated to ensuring that our website, www.vdsconsultinggroup.com, is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive digital experience that aligns with our mission to deliver operational excellence and value to our clients. Our commitment to accessibility is ongoing, guided by our goal to make our digital content usable by everyone, regardless of ability.
Accessibility Standards
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which provide standards for making web content more accessible to people with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities. These guidelines ensure that our website is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users, including those using assistive technologies such as screen readers or keyboard navigation.
Ongoing Efforts
VDS is actively working to enhance the accessibility of our website through:

- User Testing: We collaborate with individuals using assistive technologies to ensure our website meets diverse needs.
- Staff Training: Our team receives regular training on accessibility best practices to maintain and improve our digital offerings.
- Third-Party Partnerships: We work with accessibility consultants to ensure compliance with industry standards and to implement best practices.
Known Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, some areas of our website may have limitations. For example:
- Certain archived PDFs may not yet be fully remediated for screen reader compatibility. We are actively working to update these documents.
- Some interactive elements, such as complex data visualizations, may not be fully compatible with all assistive technologies. Alternative text descriptions are provided where possible.
If you encounter any accessibility issues, please contact us, and we will provide alternative access to the content or functionality you need.
