Statement of Diversity and Accessibility for TX SenseAbiliities
TX SenseAbilities is a publication in which the individual identities and needs of people are valued. That is why we strive to make our content accessible to all users by always following WCAG web accessibility standards, and providing Spanish language and audio-only versions of our articles.
Our communications are regularly improved through the use of person-first language, except in instances where an individual author has expressed their preferred statements of identity.
