What we strive for
We aim for our website to conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, the standard recommended by the U.S. Department of Justice for digital content under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Our practice itself is also accessible to patients with disabilities — we're located on the ground floor with wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance, and restroom facilities. If you have specific accessibility needs for your visit, please call us in advance at 719-647-9433 so we can make sure your experience is comfortable.
Steps we've taken
Our website has been designed with accessibility in mind from the start. Specific steps include:
- Color contrast. All text meets or exceeds WCAG AA contrast ratios on the background it appears on. Most text meets the stricter AAA standard.
- Keyboard navigation. Every interactive element — links, buttons, form fields, menus — can be reached and used with a keyboard alone, with visible focus indicators.
- Screen reader support. Pages use semantic HTML (proper heading levels, landmarks, lists) so screen readers can navigate the site effectively. Images include descriptive alt text where they convey meaningful information.
- Reduced motion. Animations and transitions are automatically disabled for users who prefer reduced motion in their operating system settings.
- Resizable text. The site remains usable when text is enlarged up to 200% using browser zoom, without breaking the layout or hiding content.
- Form labels. Every form field has an associated label and clear error messaging where applicable.
- Skip-to-content link. Keyboard users can skip past the navigation directly to main content.
Known limitations
We do our best to maintain accessibility, but no website is perfect. Known limitations include:
- The embedded Google Maps may not be fully accessible to all screen readers. Address and directions information is also provided as plain text and a "Get Directions" button as alternatives.
- Some older content on this site may not yet be fully optimized for accessibility. We're actively working to bring all content up to WCAG 2.1 AA standards.

Alternative formats
If you need information from our website in an alternative format — large print, audio, or another accessible format — please contact us at 719-647-9433 or blaskovichdental@gmail.com and we'll make reasonable accommodations to provide it.
Third-party content
Our website may include links to or content from third-party services (such as Google Maps, online review platforms, and insurance company websites). We don't control the accessibility of these third-party services, but we link to them because they provide value to our patients. If you encounter accessibility barriers with linked content, please let us know and we'll do our best to help you find the information another way.
Ongoing improvement
Accessibility is not a one-time project. We periodically review our site for accessibility barriers and update this statement as improvements are made. Patient feedback is one of the most valuable inputs to that process — thank you for helping us do better.
