Accessibility Features at PEATNI.org
In the development of the PEAT website, we have worked towards adding a significant number of accessibility features. These features complement the use of assistive technologies and to help make the site usable to the broadest possible audience, everyone from those who use assistive technologies to those with a low end browser or computer.
We hope that our website is both informative and easy to use - however, if you do experience any difficulty using the website, we would appreciate your assistance in improving our service. Please use our Contact Form to inform us of your problem.
