Accessibility
New England Institute is committed to a continuous improvement process regarding website accessibility. Below is an outline of the steps we have taken with this website to ensure we achieve this.
Images
Every image conveying information uses ALT attributes to describe the image in text format, enabling screen readers to read it.

The text size can be changed using standard browser tools. Options for changing text size:
For Internet Explorer and Firefox: Hold down the CTRL key and roll the mouse wheel forward or backward to increase or decrease font size; or hold CTRL key and click on + or – key Resize font by clicking on AA on the bottom of each page within the site.
JavaScript
All pages are usable when scripts, applets, or other programmatic objects are turned off or not supported.
