Accessibility

The National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center at Georgetown University (OHRC) strives to ensure that this Web site meets or exceeds the accessibility requirements outlined in Section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

If you need information from a OHRC Web page that is not easily accessible, choose one of the following two options:

(1) Use online conversion tools for Adobe PDF documents
If you are unable to access Adobe PDF files on the resource center Web site, go to the the Adobe online conversion tools web page, (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/access_onlinetools.html), and enter the URL of the inaccessible file to convert the PDF file to an HTML or text format that your screen reader can read.

(2) E-mail the Webmaster.
If you experience problems converting PDF files to an HTML format that your screen reader can read, e-mail our Webmaster with the URL of the page you wish to access, the technology you are using, and your phone number and e-mail address. We will work with you to make the files available in a format you can use.
