Accessibility Statement

Effective Date: March 7, 2026

​

Afya is committed to ensuring that our website and services are accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that access to health, wellness, and fitness resources should be equitable — and that commitment extends to our digital presence.

Our Commitment


We strive to ensure that afyadc.com conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, and voice control software.

​

Accessibility Features


We have implemented the following features and practices to improve accessibility across our website:

  • Proper language and content order settings to support screen readers

  • Clear and structured heading hierarchy across all pages

  • Descriptive alternative text for images

  • Color contrast that meets or exceeds WCAG 2.1 AA requirements

  • Minimized use of motion elements that may cause discomfort

  • Accessible multimedia content

  • Keyboard-navigable interface elements

​

Third-Party Content


Some pages on our website include embedded third-party content, such as scheduling tools, payment processors, and external resource widgets. While we work to ensure these integrations meet accessibility standards, we cannot guarantee full compliance of third-party content. We are committed to addressing any accessibility concerns related to third-party components to the best of our ability and will advocate for accessibility improvements with our providers where needed.

 

Known Limitations


We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website. Some areas that may currently have limitations include:
Embedded third-party tools (e.g., scheduling widgets, payment interfaces) that are governed by the accessibility practices of their respective providers.
Older PDF documents or downloadable content that may not be fully screen-reader compatible.

We are actively working to remediate these limitations and welcome feedback to help us prioritize improvements.

​

Physical Accessibility


In-person training sessions are conducted at locations in Washington, D.C. that are selected with accessibility in mind. If you have specific physical accessibility requirements for in-person sessions, please contact us in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements.

 

Feedback & Contact


Your feedback is important to us. If you encounter any accessibility barriers on our website or have suggestions for improvement, please reach out to our accessibility coordinator directly. We will make every effort to respond and address your concern within a reasonable timeframe.
