• navigate most of the website using speech recognition software;
• listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver).

• We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible: 
• the text will not reflow in a single column when you change the size of the browser window;
• you cannot modify the line height or spacing of text;
• some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible to screen reader software;
