Sheridan County's Commitment to Accessibility

Sheridan County is committed to ensuring that individuals with disabilities have equitable access to our information and services, as mandated by Century Code, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504, and Title II. This includes all digital content—such as webpages, documents, forms, and multimedia—available via our public platforms.

We strive to meet accessibility standards, including Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as well as Web Accessibility Initiative – Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA). Our agency continuously evaluates digital content in an effort to maintain ADA compliance, following industry best practices that help ensure content is:

  • Perceivable: Content must be easy for people to see, hear, or otherwise sense.
  • Operable: People must be able to use websites and tools in different ways, such as by keyboard or assistive technology.
  • Understandable: Information and instructions should be clear and easy for everyone to follow.
  • Robust: Content should work well with modern technology and continue to work with future tools and assistive devices.

By adhering to these standards, we affirm our commitment to creating an inclusive digital environment, one in which every citizen can independently access, understand, and benefit from the information and services our state provides.
