BIASC: Same Web Address, Brand New Website Look!

Brain Injury Association of South Carolina is so excited to share with you that we have updated our website! It is the same URL (www.biaofsc.com) with a whole new look. We are so excited about it and think it will be a much cleaner and user-friendly experience. We have reorganized some of the information and updated our visuals to make navigating our website, resources, and programs much easier.

We encourage you to check out the new website and pass this information on to your family, friends, colleagues, and community members. The information we have to share is important and helpful for survivors of brain injury and their support systems. You can check out our new website by visiting Brain Injury Association of SC website here or by utilizing the QR code below:

One of the features we are most excited about with this new website is our accessibility widget through UserWay. This accessibility widget can be found at the bottom right of the website on any page that you click on, and allows for people with various disabilities (such as visual disabilities, color  blindness, astigmatism, dyslexia, etc.) to access the essential and important brain health information found on our site. Some of the accessibility features are described below.

The Userway accessibility widget includes a variety of features that can be present for anyone, but are more likely to be present in someone who has experienced a TBI or mTBI (concussion). Some of those features include, but are not limited to:

• Keyboard navigation 
• Read page = the page will be read aloud by the widget, which is great for users with dyslexia, learning disabilities, visual disabilities, or who have difficulty with looking at screens for long periods of time 
• Contrast = this will change the contrast colors of the web page, background, font color, etc. to make it easier to read the information on the website, which is great for users who are colorblind, have astigmatism, etc. 
• Highlight Links = this makes it easier to find where clickable links on each page are 
• Bigger Text = this allows users to change the size of the text on the page to assist with seeing the information easier, which can assist users who are legally blind or who need larger font size 
• Text Spacing = this feature allows for different variations of spacing between words. This can be really helpful for users with dyslexia, learning disabilities, or visual disabilities. 
• Pause animations = any videos that auto-play or moving text/images can be paused so that they can be viewed on the user's timeframe 
• Legible fonts = this feature allows for the user to change fonts that are easier to see. Depending on the disability, fonts that are closer to cursive can be more difficult to read. 
• Cursor 
• Page Structure = this can help restructure the page to make it easier to navigate and follow 
• Move/Hide = gives the user the ability to move and hide some features of the page 

Thank you so much for your support of the
