Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) Accessibility Statement
The Florida Public Service Commission is committed to ensuring that everyone has
full access to the information and services we provide through our website. To assist
persons with visual and other challenges, we routinely evaluate our web forms using
assistive technologies such as screen readers, text-only web browsers and
accessibility analyzers. Following
are some of the guidelines we have adopted to ensure compliance with
Section 508
of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act:
Adopted significant use of headings and other HTML document structuring capabilities to provide better over-all page navigation
Text transcripts provided upon request for most events with audio-visual coverage
"Skip navigation" used to allow screen readers to move directly to page content
Limited use of
"client-side scripts"
and other technologies that refresh page content
without notifying users of assistive devices such as screen readers
Omitted automatic page refreshes, web forms with timed responses, non-essential multimedia content, page frames, text effects and other
technologies or web content known to cause problems for assistive devices
PSC Recommendations
Persons with low to moderate visual problems can increase browser font size. Methods
for changing font size are described in the document Increasing Font Size.
Use the latest version of your web browser, because it provides features likely
to be most compliant with accessibility standards and compatible with current assistive
technologies. Accessibility tutorials are available to users of
Internet Explorer
. Users of Mozilla/Firefox can download an accessibility toolbar.
If your computer has the Microsoft XP® operating system, you can use its
accessibility wizard.
