The American Psychiatric Association (APA) is committed to making our websites and mobile applications accessible to individuals with disabilities. This accessibility statement applies to psychiatry.org, appi.org, psychiatryonline.org, DSM-5-TR mobile application, and APA Meetings App. These websites and mobile applications are partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 Level AA conformance standard. Examples of potential non-compliances include that some media resources (like images, videos or PDFs) might not be accessible; some pages do not have heading levels; some images don’t have alternative text; some links don’t have discernible text; and some IDs of active elements are not unique.
