The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) has invested a significant amount of resources in ensuring that its website is easy to use and accessible by individuals with disabilities.

FSDB continues its efforts to continually improve the accessibility of its site and services in the belief that it is our collective moral obligation to allow seamless, accessible and unhindered use by all who visit.

In an ongoing effort to continually improve and remediate accessibility issues, we also regularly scan www.fsdbk12.org to identify and fix every possible accessibility barrier on our site. Despite our efforts to make all pages and content on www.fsdbk12.org fully accessible, some content may not have been fully adapted to the strictest accessibility standards—which may be a result of not having found or identified the most appropriate technological solution.

We’ve done our best to create as accessible a site as possible with siouxcityschools.org. Following the guidelines of the World Wide Web Consortium and Section 508, Siouxcityschools.org should be useable by anyone, with or without disabilities.

With that in mind, this guide will help you use this website (and others as well) with as much ease as possible. Below you will find links to built in accessibility options for different operating systems, browsers, and devices. Following these links will give you information on how to adjust your settings to change colors or font sizes or even access text-to-speech options.
