| Text Readability | Text Adjustments | Increase text size, adjust line height, letter spacing, and word spacing for users with reading disabilities or low vision. |
| Navigation & Focus | Skip to Content Link | Essential for keyboard users, allowing them to bypass navigation menus and jump straight to the main content. |
| Focus Indicators | Focus Outlines & Link Underlining | Clearly highlights interactive elements, essential for users navigating with a keyboard or assistive technology. |
| Distraction Control | Pause Animations & Hide Images | Removes distracting movement (like sliders) and visual clutter to improve focus for neuro-diverse or easily distracted users. |

The Open-Source Advantage
Open Accessibility is built on the principles of transparency, community, and free access.
