Accessibility, Inclusion & Community Standards Statement

Last Updated: August 23, 2026

At Figurin’ It Out Counseling & Consulting, accessibility is not an afterthought or a box to check. It is part of how we welcome people, share information, provide services, and create spaces where individuals feel respected and able to participate fully.

We believe every person deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, fairness, and respect. We are committed to fostering an environment – online and offline – that is accessible, affirming, inclusive, and free from discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, and hate.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Figurin’ It Out Counseling & Consulting is committed to making www.alifigurin.com accessible and usable for the widest possible range of people.

This includes people who:

Use a keyboard, switch device, voice control, screen reader, magnification software, or other assistive technology
Have cognitive, intellectual, learning, or developmental disabilities

Are aging or experiencing changes in vision, hearing, mobility, or cognition
Access the Site through different devices, connection speeds, browsers, or environments
Communicate, process information, learn, or move through the world in ways that differ from others

Accessibility needs are not always visible, permanent, formally diagnosed, or disclosed. We respect each person’s understanding of what helps them access information, communicate, and participate.

Accessibility Standards

Our goal is to work toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.

These guidelines help address accessibility in areas such as:

Keyboard navigation
Screen-reader compatibility
Alternative text for meaningful images
Captions and transcripts for multimedia
Sufficient color contrast
Readable type and page structure
Clearly identified headings, links, buttons, and form fields
Content that can be enlarged or reflowed
Predictable navigation and interactions
Alternatives for movement, animation, audio, or time-sensitive content
Error identification and understandable instructions
Compatibility across common devices and assistive technologies

Accessibility is an ongoing responsibility. Technology, content, standards, and individual needs change over time, so we will continue reviewing and improving the Site.

Designing for Different Ways of Processing Information

Accessibility includes more than physical or sensory access.
We strive to make information approachable for people with different cognitive, emotional, neurological, and learning needs.

When reasonably possible, we aim to:

Use clear, direct, and respectful language
Organize information into understandable sections
Avoid unnecessarily complicated instructions
Keep navigation and interactive elements consistent
Provide enough context for links, forms, and decisions
Reduce avoidable visual clutter and sensory overload
Avoid requiring unnecessary speed or rapid responses
Explain errors without blame or judgment
Provide more than one way to request help or information
Offer reasonable flexibility in communication when possible

We recognize that a person may understand information best when it is written, spoken, demonstrated, repeated, simplified, enlarged, or presented at a different pace.

An Inclusive and Affirming Environment

Figurin’ It Out Counseling & Consulting welcomes people across identities, backgrounds, lived experiences, abilities, and stages of life.

We are committed to treating people equitably and respectfully without regard to:

Race, color, ethnicity, culture, ancestry, or national origin
Disability, neurotype, health condition, or genetic information
Religion, faith, spiritual belief, or nonbelief
Sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or gender expression
Pregnancy, childbirth, or related conditions
Age
Marital, family, parental, or caregiving status
Socioeconomic background or financial circumstances
Veteran or military status
Immigration or citizenship status
Language, accent, or communication style
Body size, appearance, athletic ability, or physical capacity
Education, profession, leadership role, or level of experience
Any other identity or status protected by applicable law

People do not need to minimize, conceal, defend, or explain who they are in order to be treated with dignity here.

This commitment applies to our website, communications, resources, programs, consultations, speaking engagements, professional relationships, and other spaces connected with Figurin’ It Out Counseling & Consulting.

No Bigotry, Bullying, or Harassment

Figurin’ It Out Counseling & Consulting does not tolerate bigotry, racism, ableism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, religious intolerance, ageism, body shaming, or other forms of prejudice and dehumanizing conduct.

Full. Stop.

We also do not tolerate:

Bullying or intimidation
Harassment or unwanted targeting
Hate speech, slurs, or degrading language
Threats or encouragement of violence
Deliberate humiliation or personal attacks
Stalking or repeated unwanted contact
Sexual harassment or exploitation
Retaliation against someone who raises a concern
Impersonation, deception, or malicious misrepresentation
Sharing another person’s private information without permission
Conduct intended to silence, exclude, frighten, or demean another person

This standard applies to Site submissions, messages, interactive features, events, programs, consultations, and communications involving Figurin’ It Out Counseling & Consulting.

Disagreement is not the same as disrespect. People may hold different perspectives, ask difficult questions, make mistakes, and continue learning. However, disagreement never justifies cruelty, harassment, threats, dehumanization, or attacks on another person’s identity or humanity.

Community Responsibility

We ask every person interacting with Figurin’ It Out Counseling & Consulting to:

Communicate respectfully
Honor personal and professional boundaries
Avoid assumptions about another person’s identity or experience
Respect names, pronouns, access needs, and communication preferences
Protect confidential and private information
Allow space for different perspectives and processing styles
Address conflict without humiliation, retaliation, or personal attack
Take responsibility when their words or actions cause harm
Participate in ways that support physical and emotional safety

Where appropriate and lawful, we may restrict participation, end communication, remove submitted content, cancel an engagement, or take other reasonable action in response to threatening, abusive, discriminatory, harassing, or persistently disruptive conduct.

Nothing in this section is intended to prevent a person from reporting misconduct, expressing a good-faith concern, seeking help, setting a boundary, or discussing an experience of harm. Rather, we invite any and all information regarding the breaking of this community responsibility. Please email us in the event of violation at ali@fiocc.com.

Access to Services

We strive to provide reasonable access to information and services. However, the availability and form of a particular accommodation may depend on the service, setting, technology, location, professional requirements, and the individual circumstances involved.

If an accommodation or alternative format is needed, we invite you to contact us. We will engage in a respectful, good-faith conversation about what may help and what can reasonably be provided.

Requesting an accommodation will not be treated as an inconvenience or a lack of capability. When discussing access needs, you are not required to disclose more personal or medical information than is reasonably necessary to understand and respond to the request.

Access to Services

If an accommodation or alternative format is needed, we invite you to contact us. We will engage in a respectful, good-faith conversation about what may help and what can reasonably be provided.

Third-Party Content and Technology

The Site may use or link to third-party tools, including scheduling platforms, videos, forms, maps, payment systems, social media, document viewers, or other embedded content.

Although we may not control the accessibility of every third-party platform, we take accessibility concerns seriously. If a third-party feature creates a barrier, please let us know. We will make reasonable efforts to help you access the information or complete the intended task through another method.

Known Limitations and Continuous Improvement

Despite our efforts, some content or functionality may not yet be fully accessible to every person or assistive technology.

We do not view the existence of this statement as proof that the Site is perfectly accessible. This statement reflects a commitment to listen, respond, repair barriers, and keep improving.

We welcome feedback from people with lived experience of disability and access barriers. No person is expected to educate us or perform unpaid accessibility work, but feedback offered voluntarily will be received respectfully.

Requesting Assistance or Reporting a Barrier

If you experience an accessibility barrier, need information in a different format, or require assistance using any part of the Site, please contact us:

Email: ali@fiocc.com
Phone: 303–900–8073
Mail: Figurin’ It Out Counseling & Consulting, [MAILING ADDRESS]

You may include:

The page, resource, or feature involved
A description of the barrier
The device, browser, or assistive technology being used
The format or accommodation that would help
Your preferred way for us to respond

You do not need to use legal or technical terminology. A simple explanation of what happened and what you need is always enough.

We will make reasonable efforts to acknowledge accessibility concerns promptly, investigate the issue, communicate about available options, and provide an accessible alternative when practicable.

Reporting Discrimination, Bullying, or Harmful Conduct

Concerns about discrimination, harassment, bullying, retaliation, threats, or other harmful conduct connected with Figurin’ It Out Counseling & Consulting may be reported to:

Email: ali@fiocc.com
Subject Line: Accessibility or Inclusion Concern

Reports will be taken seriously and reviewed as promptly and impartially as reasonably possible. Information will be handled with discretion, but absolute confidentiality cannot be guaranteed when disclosure is necessary to evaluate the concern, protect someone’s safety, comply with professional obligations, or follow the law.

Retaliation against a person for making a good-faith report or participating in a review is prohibited.

Submitting a false report intentionally and maliciously is also inconsistent with these community standards. This does not include a good-faith report that cannot ultimately be substantiated.

Emergency and Crisis Needs

Accessibility, discrimination, and conduct reports submitted through the Site or by email are not monitored continuously.

If you or another person is in immediate danger, call 911 or contact local emergency services. In the United States, you may call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Updates to This Statement

We may update this statement as the Site, services, accessibility standards, or legal requirements evolve. The most recent version will be posted here with its updated date.
