Accessibility of NESPRS
Last Updated: October 7, 2026
The New England Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, Inc.
("NESPRS") is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive experience
for our members, meeting attendees, applicants, and visitors to
https://neplasticsurgery.org/.
We strive to make our website, online services, educational programs, and
Annual Meeting accessible to individuals with disabilities and to provide
reasonable accommodations when needed.
Website Accessibility
NESPRS works to improve the accessibility and usability of its website for
people using a variety of devices, browsers, assistive technologies, and
accessibility tools.
Our goal is to follow generally recognized accessibility practices, including
the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), where reasonably applicable.
These guidelines are intended to make web content more accessible to people
with visual, hearing, mobility, cognitive, and other disabilities.
Accessibility efforts may include:
- Providing meaningful headings and page structure
- Supporting keyboard navigation where possible
- Providing alternative text for meaningful images
- Using readable text and appropriate color contrast
- Providing labels and instructions for online forms
- Supporting browser zoom and text resizing
- Making links and interactive controls identifiable and understandable
- Improving compatibility with commonly used assistive technologies
Documents and Downloadable Materials
Some areas of the NESPRS website may contain PDF files, historical documents,
meeting programs, application materials, or other downloadable content.
Older documents or materials supplied by third parties may not be fully
accessible to all users.
If you have difficulty accessing a document or other material on our website,
please contact NESPRS. When reasonably possible, we will provide the
information in an alternative format or assist you in obtaining the
information you need.
Membership Applications and Online Forms
NESPRS provides membership applications, member services, registration forms,
and other online features through its website.
If a disability prevents you from completing an online form, membership
application, meeting registration, or other website process, please contact
NESPRS for assistance or to request an alternative method of completing the
process.
Annual Meeting Accessibility
NESPRS is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for individuals
with disabilities attending the NESPRS Annual Meeting and other Society
programs.
Attendees who require an accommodation are encouraged to contact NESPRS as
early as possible before the meeting so that appropriate arrangements can be
considered.
Accommodation requests may include, when reasonably available:
- Accessible meeting space and seating
- Mobility-related accommodations
- Communication access accommodations
- Dietary accommodations related to a disability
- Assistance accessing meeting materials
- Other reasonable accommodations necessary to participate in the meeting
NESPRS will make reasonable efforts to accommodate requests. The availability
of a particular accommodation may depend on the nature of the request, the
meeting facility, available resources, and the amount of advance notice
provided.
Third-Party Content and Services
The NESPRS website may contain links to third-party websites or may use
third-party services for functions such as payment processing, meeting
services, maps, videos, or other online features.
NESPRS does not control the accessibility of websites, applications, or
content provided by independent third parties. If you experience an
accessibility problem with a third-party service accessed through our website,
please let us know so that we can assist where reasonably possible.
Ongoing Accessibility Efforts
Accessibility is an ongoing process. NESPRS may periodically review its
website, content, and online services and make changes intended to improve
accessibility and usability.
Because website technology, content, accessibility standards, and assistive
technologies continue to evolve, some areas of the website may not always
provide an optimal experience for every user.

the NESPRS website, please contact us and describe the accessibility problem
