An accessible internet site is one which allows persons with disabilities and elderly persons to surf at the same level of efficiency and benefit as all other surfers.

At Somekh Chaikin we work towards equal opportunity in the internet environment for people with varied disabilities and those assisted by various technologies for computer use.

For exiting menus and Windows, Enter and Esc, the site provides a semantic structure for assistive technologies and support for printing using the keyboard arrows.

In order to receive better surfing with the screed reader program we recommend using the most updated WCAG 2.0 program.
