Accessibility Statement

Effective: May 27, 2026. Last reviewed: May 27, 2026.

Our Commitment

The Long Game is committed to digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We design, build, and maintain drjoepickleball.com so that everyone, including people who use assistive technology, can access our information and services with dignity and independence.

Conformance Target

The Long Game targets conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 at Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium. drjoepickleball.com is currently partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the standard. We do not claim full conformance because no large website is ever genuinely fully conformant. We list known limitations below.

Measures We Take

The Long Game takes the following measures to support accessibility:

• We treat accessibility as a requirement for all new digital content, not as a remediation step.
• We use semantic HTML, WAI-ARIA where appropriate, and patterns from the W3C WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices Guide.
• We review designs and code for keyboard operability, focus management, color contrast, target size, and text alternatives.
• We test with screen readers including VoiceOver and NVDA on current versions of major browsers.
• We run automated tests with axe-core and Lighthouse on every release.
• We honor the user's reduced-motion preference. Hero video and scroll-triggered animations are reduced or removed when the system preference is set.
• We maintain a remediation backlog and track accessibility defects with the same priority as functional defects.

AI and AI-Assisted Content

Portions of drjoepickleball.com use AI-assisted authoring for hero video b-roll and supplemental still imagery used as illustrative background. AI-generated assets are reviewed by a person before publication. We do not rely on AI as the sole source of accessibility for primary content. Primary editorial content (the case, the protocol, the citations, the book copy) is human-authored.

If you encounter AI-generated content that is inaccurate, misleading, or inaccessible, contact us through the feedback channels below. We treat AI-output corrections with the same priority as other accessibility defects.

Third-Party Content

Some content on drjoepickleball.com is provided by third parties, including Web3Forms (inquiry form submission), Google Fonts, and embedded video. We do not control the accessibility of third-party content or services. Where third-party content does not meet our accessibility goals, we offer alternative ways to access the same information or function. Contact us if you encounter a third-party barrier and we will assist or provide an alternative.

No Accessibility Overlay

drjoepickleball.com does not use an accessibility overlay, widget, or plug-in (sometimes marketed as a one-line-of-code accessibility solution). Independent accessibility experts, the W3C, and federal regulators have raised concerns that overlays do not remediate underlying code, can interfere with assistive technology, and may not protect against accessibility claims. We invest in accessibility at the source instead.

Compatibility

drjoepickleball.com is designed to be compatible with current versions of major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) and with the following assistive technologies tested in the last 12 months: VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, NVDA on Windows, and keyboard-only navigation. Older browsers may not render correctly.

Technologies

Accessibility of drjoepickleball.com relies on the following technologies in combination with a web browser and any assistive technology installed on your device: HTML, CSS, WAI-ARIA, JavaScript.

Assessment Approach

We assess the accessibility of drjoepickleball.com by:

• Self-evaluation using axe-core, Lighthouse, and manual review against WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria.
• Assistive technology testing with VoiceOver and NVDA at each major release.
• Internal review by the site author, with quarterly review of the published statement.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some areas of drjoepickleball.com may not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.2 AA. Known limitations include:

• The hero film at the top of the homepage is a silent visual sequence with no dialogue. It carries an aria-label that describes its content. An extended visual description is available on request.
• Decorative SVG animations and the book cover SVG use ARIA hidden where appropriate; their meaning is conveyed in surrounding text.
• Some scroll-driven reveal animations may not be fully suppressed by the reduced-motion media query in legacy browsers. We are tracking this in the remediation backlog.

If you encounter a barrier not listed here, please contact us so we can work on it.
