Accessibility Statement
The Wellness Thread is committed to making its website, educational information, and digital resources as accessible and usable as reasonably possible.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
The Wellness Thread serves people with many different needs, abilities, devices, and ways of accessing information.
We want visitors to be able to find, read, understand, and use the information provided on this website as easily as reasonably possible.
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. As the website grows and changes, we will continue working to improve readability, navigation, organization, and access to content.
Website Design & Readability
The Wellness Thread aims to use website design practices that support clear and comfortable reading.
These efforts may include:
- Readable font sizes
- Clear headings and page organization
- Strong contrast between text and backgrounds
- Consistent navigation where reasonably possible
- Descriptive link wording
- Layouts designed to work across different screen sizes
- Clear spacing between sections of content
- Plain-language explanations when discussing complicated subjects
Because the website is updated over time, some older pages or third-party elements may not always match newer accessibility improvements immediately.
Different Devices & Screen Sizes
The Wellness Thread is designed with the goal of supporting visitors using desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices.
The appearance of a page may vary depending on the device, browser, operating system, screen size, zoom setting, or accessibility tools being used.
Visitors may find that browser zoom, text-size settings, screen magnification, or device accessibility settings make some content easier to read.
Images & Visual Content
Images are used throughout The Wellness Thread to support the website's educational content, books, cookbooks, and other resources.
Where reasonably practical, meaningful images should be accompanied by surrounding text or descriptions that help communicate the important information being presented.
Decorative images may not require additional description when they do not add essential information.
PDFs, eBooks & Downloadable Materials
The Wellness Thread provides digital materials that may include PDF books, eBooks, cookbooks, guides, and other downloadable resources.
The accessibility of a PDF can vary depending on the document, device, PDF reader, browser, screen reader, and other technology used to access it.
If you purchase or request a digital resource and experience difficulty accessing the file, please contact The Wellness Thread and explain the problem.
When reasonably possible, we will try to help identify an appropriate way to access the information.
Courses & Educational Resources
Some educational resources may be delivered through external platforms or technology that The Wellness Thread does not completely control.
If you encounter an accessibility problem within a course, free resource, download page, or other educational material, please let us know which resource is causing difficulty.
Knowing the exact page, product, or resource helps us understand the problem and determine what may be possible.
Third-Party Websites & Services
The Wellness Thread links to third-party websites and services, including retailers, social-media platforms, checkout pages, and other outside resources.
These websites are operated independently and may have their own accessibility features, limitations, and policies.
The Wellness Thread cannot control the accessibility of every third-party website or service.
If an accessibility issue occurs on an outside website, you may need to contact that provider directly.
Making Health Information Easier to Understand
Accessibility is not only about technology. Health information also needs to be understandable.
The Wellness Thread works to explain digestive-health subjects in clear language while still providing enough detail to help readers understand important concepts.
Medical and digestive-health subjects can be complicated, so some terminology may be necessary. When possible, those terms are explained in context.
We Welcome Accessibility Feedback
Accessibility needs vary, and it is possible for a problem to appear on a particular device or page even when it was not apparent during website creation.
If you encounter a barrier that makes it difficult to access The Wellness Thread, please let us know.
Helpful information includes:
- The page or resource you were trying to access
- What part of the content was difficult to use
- The device or browser you were using, if known
- What format or adjustment would help you access the information
You do not need to provide private medical information in order to report an accessibility problem.
Ongoing Improvements
The Wellness Thread is an active website and may be updated, expanded, reorganized, or redesigned over time.
Accessibility considerations will continue to be part of that ongoing work.
If a problem is identified, reasonable efforts may be made to correct the issue or provide another way to access the relevant information when possible.
