1. Our Commitment
SOR Physical Therapy, operated by Sport Orthopedic Rehabilitative Services, Inc., is committed to ensuring that our website at sorphysicaltherapy.com is accessible to everyone — including individuals with visual, auditory, motor, cognitive, and other disabilities.
We believe that equal access to health information and our services is a fundamental right. We continually work to improve the accessibility of our digital presence and to align with accepted standards and guidelines for web accessibility.
This Accessibility Statement applies to the SOR Physical Therapy website and all digital services we operate at this domain.
2. Standards We Follow
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities.
We also strive to comply with applicable federal accessibility requirements, including Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as applied to websites and digital services.
3. Technical Approach
To promote accessibility, our website is built with the following technical practices:
- Semantic HTML5 markup with appropriate landmark regions (
header,nav,main,footer) - Descriptive alternative text for all meaningful images
- Sufficient color contrast ratios that meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards (minimum 4.5:1 for text)
- Keyboard navigation support throughout all interactive elements
- Visible focus indicators on all focusable elements
- ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes where appropriate
- Responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes and zoom levels up to 200%
- Skip navigation links for keyboard and screen reader users
- Forms with clearly associated labels and descriptive error messages
- No reliance on color alone to convey information
4. Known Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, some content on our website may not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Known areas we are actively working to improve include:
- Third-party embedded content — Some forms, maps, or videos embedded from third-party platforms may not fully meet our accessibility standards. We are evaluating accessible alternatives.
- Legacy PDF documents — Older patient forms and documents may not be fully accessible. If you need an accessible version of any document, please contact us and we will provide an alternative format.
- Video content — Some video content may lack captions or audio descriptions. We are working to add these where missing.
We are committed to remediating these issues and will continue to make improvements on an ongoing basis.

Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:
- Screen readers (including NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver for macOS/iOS, and TalkBack for Android)
