Clear structure
Semantic headings, meaningful labels, and predictable navigation support keyboard and assistive-technology use.
Accessibility
Shared Language should work for more ways of reading, moving, and thinking.
Accessibility is part of the product, not a finishing step. We are working toward WCAG 2.2 Level AA and improve the site as people identify barriers.
What we are doing
Flexible presentation
The Accessibility button offers larger text, higher contrast, underlined links, reduced motion, and browser read-aloud.
Plain language
We aim for direct, nonclinical language and explain unfamiliar terms instead of assuming prior knowledge.
Your preferences
Use the Accessibility button at the bottom-right of any page to adjust this browser. Preferences are saved only in your browser storage; Shared Language does not receive them. Browser read-aloud is provided as a convenience and is not a replacement for a screen reader.
Your operating system and browser accessibility settings still apply. The site also honors your system's reduced-motion preference.
Tell us when something gets in the way
Include the page, what you were trying to do, what happened, and—if comfortable—your browser or assistive technology. Please do not include medical records, passwords, or other sensitive information.
