Google Sites is designed to be accessible to users with disabilities, but it may not always fully comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Additionally, you can use third-party tools, such as accessibility checkers, to help identify and resolve any accessibility issues on your site. It's important to note that accessibility is an ongoing process and requires effort and attention to detail. Making your site as accessible as possible will benefit not only users with disabilities, but also improve the overall user experience for all visitors to your site.
