Accessibility

Last reviewed: November 11, 2026

People come to this site in pain, on a phone, sometimes one-handed, sometimes using a screen reader. We want it to work for all of them.

What we are aiming for

We are working toward WCAG 2.2 Level AA, the standard most commonly used to judge whether a website is accessible. We are not claiming we have met every criterion — that is a claim very few sites can honestly make — but it is the standard we build and review against.

We have built accessibility into the site itself rather than adding an accessibility overlay or widget on top of it. Those tools promise a great deal and, in the view of most people who rely on assistive technology, deliver considerably less.

What we have done

• The site is built as plain, structured HTML with proper headings, so screen readers can navigate it by section.
• Every meaningful image has alternative text.
• Everything works by keyboard. There is nothing you can only reach with a mouse.
• Links say where they go. You will not find a "click here" anywhere on this site.
• Text and background colours were chosen to meet contrast requirements, and text resizes without the layout breaking.
• Pages work at phone width without side-to-side scrolling.

Where we know we fall short

We would rather name these than let you discover them:

• Our new patient registration form is a PDF that has not been tagged for screen readers. Our rehabilitation protocols and our Notice of Privacy Practices have been tagged and should read correctly, but the registration packet has not. If you need that form in an accessible format, call any of our offices and we will take your information over the phone or provide it another way.
• Some clinical diagrams illustrate anatomy that is genuinely difficult to convey in a short text description. We describe what each one shows; if a diagram matters to you and the description is not enough, ask us and we will explain it.
• We have not yet had the site tested by an independent accessibility auditor or by users of assistive technology.

Tell us when something does not work

This is the part that actually matters. If any part of this site is difficult or impossible for you to use, we want to hear about it — and we will help you get what you needed in the meantime.

Phone: (949) 393-3193
Email: info@ocsportsortho.com

Please tell us the page and what went wrong. We aim to respond within 3 business days, and if we cannot fix something quickly we will tell you how to get the information another way.

If you are not satisfied with our response, ask to have it escalated to the practice manager. We would far rather hear about a problem twice than have you give up on it.

Getting what you need by other means

Anything on this site is available by phone. Call any office and we will read it to you, explain it, post it to you, or go through it with you at your appointment.
