Accessibility

Many individuals have trouble typing, moving a mouse or reading a web page. They can't access a website without assistive technology.

Teck is proud to be a founding member of eSSENTIAL Accessibility™, an online social responsibility initiative that provides a web-based assistive technology application to make web browsing fully accessible to individuals with physical disabilities including:

  • Stroke/paralysis
  • Arthritis
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
  • Cerebral Palsy (CP)
  • Age-related factors

Moreover, it also helps those who have difficulty reading because of:

  • Literacy deficiencies
  • Limited English proficiency
  • Dyslexia or similar learning issues
  • Mild visual impairment

    • The application features an array of keyboard and mouse replacement solutions (alternative input methods including a webcam-based hands-free movement tracking system) that allow users to overcome physical limitations to accessing our website. It also includes a web page reader. The application can be downloaded and installed, free of charge, on a standard PC for use by anyone who has difficulty typing, moving a mouse or reading a web page.

    The eSSENTIAL Accessibility™ icon (pictured right) certifies that our website is accessible to individuals with physical disabilities. Clicking on the icon will take you to www.essentialaccessibility.com where the application can be downloaded.
