This page explains what we are trying to do about accessibility, and what to do if a page does not work for you. Many readers come here at a hard time. Pages that are easy to read and use should not add to the strain.
What standard do you follow?
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the best known set of rules for accessible websites. They are published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Version 2.2 became a W3C Recommendation on 12 December 2024. It has three levels of conformance: A, AA and AAA. AA is the level most often asked for.
The guidelines rest on four ideas. Content should be perceivable, so people can see or hear it. It should be operable, so people can use it with a keyboard or other tools. It should be understandable. It should work with assistive technology, such as a screen reader.
We aim for WCAG 2.2 level AA. The site has not been independently audited, so we do not claim that it conforms.
How are pages written to be easy to read?
Pages for families use short sentences and explain each medical term. Headings are written as questions people ask. Each page begins with a short answer, so you do not have to read the whole page to get the main point.
What if a page is hard to use?
Tell us what you were trying to do and what got in the way. It helps to say which page it was and what device or assistive tool you were using. You do not need to give health details, and please do not send any.
Please send requests to hello@thegenerativebrain.org. We aim to reply within 7 days.
You can also ask for a plain text version of a page.
Are there known problems?
The site has not been independently audited, so there may be problems we have not found.
Links go to other organisations, such as journals and trial registries. We do not control their sites, and pages linked from other sites may be less accessible.
