Accessibility Statement

The Nadia Valsecchi Foundation · Last updated October 6, 2026

Our commitment

The Nadia Valsecchi Foundation wants everyone to be able to use our website, including people with disabilities. Many of the people we serve, such as patients, caregivers, and families affected by pancreatic cancer, may rely on assistive technology or need content that is easy to read.

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more usable for people who are blind or have low vision, are deaf or hard of hearing, or have motor, cognitive, or learning disabilities.

What we do

To make the Site accessible, we:

  • Provide text descriptions (alt text) for meaningful images

  • Use clear headings and a consistent layout so pages are easy to navigate with a screen reader or keyboard

  • Check that text has enough color contrast against its background

  • Write in plain language wherever we can, especially when explaining research

  • Review new pages for accessibility before we publish them

Known limitations

We are still working toward full conformance. Some parts of the Site may not yet meet every guideline:

  • Older videos may not have accurate captions or transcripts

  • Some PDF documents, such as reports and scientific materials, may not be fully accessible

  • Content from third parties, including the Donorbox donation form and embedded YouTube videos, is controlled by those providers. We choose providers that support accessibility, but we cannot guarantee their content fully conforms

If you cannot access any content, we will provide it in another format (see below).

Feedback and help

If you have trouble using any part of the Site, or need information in a different format (such as large print, plain text, or an audio description), please tell us. When you contact us, it helps to include the page address, a short description of the problem, and the assistive technology or browser you use, if any.

We aim to reply within 5 business days and to provide the information you need in a format that works for you. You can also make a donation by contacting us directly if the online form does not work for you.

Updates
