Accessibility Page

This web site aims to provide health information for everyone living in Japan. We have also tried to account for access issues that face people with disabilites For this reason we have done our best to make the site as accessible as we can.

Icons

There are three icons at the top-right of each page; they are links 7, 8, and 9 in text view of the page. The first, which looks like a question mark (the alt-text is "accessibility features"), opens this page. The second icon has a small T next to a large T and this one reads "change text size" with a screen reader. This link increases the text size of the page in three increments and then back to the original size. The third icon has a T in reverse video and alt-text "change contrast." Activating this link changes to a white on black contrast mode - then, if activated again, back to usual contrast.

Skip Navigation and Skip to News

The basic idea is to provide a method for people using screen readers to move from the top of the page to the beginning of the "main content" of the page. Over the past couple of years there has been a growing awareness of this issue, including awareness that those who are mobility impaired and cannot use the mouse have a similar requirement of needing to skip over the repetitive navigation links and get the main body of the page.

If you have difficulty in using a mouse or similar devices, you can use keyboard shortcuts. The access key system and information on how to use each of the keyboard shortcuts available is below. They enable you to navigate using only the keyboard.
