Accessibility
TheraFocus is built for every therapist, regardless of ability. Mental health care tools should be accessible to everyone.
You Belong Here
Mental health care should be accessible to everyone, and so should the tools therapists use. If you have a disability and need accommodations to use TheraFocus, just ask. We are here to help.
Not an Afterthought
Accessibility is considered from the first line of code for every feature.

When something is not accessible, we treat it as a bug that needs to be fixed.

We follow WCAG 2.1 AA, Section 508, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

How We Test
Accessibility is not a one-time checklist. We test continuously.
Automated testing
ESLint accessibility rules catch common issues during development
Manual testing
Our team tests with keyboards and screen readers regularly
User testing
People with disabilities test new features before release
External audits
Third-party experts evaluate our platform periodically
Continuous monitoring
We track accessibility alongside other quality metrics
Known Limitations
We are always working to improve, but we want to be honest about current limitations:
- -Some third-party embedded content may not be fully accessible. We are working with vendors to improve this.
- -Older PDF documents may lack proper accessibility tags. We are remediating these as we identify them.
- -Complex data visualizations may have limited screen reader descriptions. We are adding detailed text alternatives.
