Accessibility and Inclusive Access
Dawn Therapeutics is committed to making its website accessible and usable for as many people as possible, including people using assistive technologies and different ways of navigating the web.
1. Our accessibility commitment

We aim to provide a website experience that is clear, consistent, and accessible to users with a wide range of needs, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, voice input, or other assistive tools.
Accessibility is treated as an ongoing part of website design and maintenance, not a one time task.

3. Accessibility standard we work toward
Target benchmarkDawn Therapeutics aims to align the website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, as a practical target for accessibility improvements.
Because websites evolve over time, accessibility is reviewed as new pages, features, and media are added.

|---|---|
| Review method | Visual checks, keyboard testing, form checks, and ongoing user feedback |
| Scope | Public website pages and common website components |
| Improvement cycle | Continuous updates as pages are redesigned and maintained |

Assistive technologies
We aim for compatibility with common assistive technologies, including screen readers, keyboard only navigation, and built in accessibility settings such as contrast and text scaling.

5. Known limitations and ongoing improvements
TransparencyKnown limitations may include
- Some third party embeds may not fully match our accessibility standards
- Older pages or legacy layouts may need further improvements
- Some decorative images may require review for improved text alternatives
- Complex interactive widgets may require additional keyboard testing
