Accessibility

Many web sites contain significant barriers to access by not considering disabled users in the design phase. This web site design follows the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines to ensure that the web site is as accessible as possible.

Access keys

Access keys are keyboard shortcuts intended to help users who have difficulty in using pointing devices such as a mouse. Not every user has a graphic environment with a mouse or other pointing device — some rely on keyboard, alternative keyboard or voice input to navigate.

The access key shortcuts are allocated as follows:

  • Key [ - Skip to the main content on each page.
  • Key 0 - Access keys information.
  • Key 1 - Home.
  • Key 2 - Sitemap.
  • Key 3 - Not implemented.
  • Key 4 - About Us.
  • Key 5 - Services to Members.
  • Key 6 - ASCO Activity Groups.
  • Key 7 - Education.
  • Key 8 - Friends of ASCO.
  • Key 9 - Contact Us.
