Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998 requires that when Federal agencies develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology, they shall ensure that the electronic and information technology allows Federal employees with disabilities to have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access to and use of information and data by Federal employees who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency.
Section 508 also requires that individuals with disabilities, who are members of the public seeking information or services from a Federal agency, have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to that provided to the public who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency.

We Can Help
Our goal is to move beyond the basic requirements for accessibility (Defined under Priority One of the WAI guidelines) to provide a truly usable site for the greatest possible number of users, web browsers and platforms.
To reach that goal our team will schedule a strategy meeting. Working together we will formulate an action plan customized to your agency's needs. Upon completion we will add an Acceptibility Policy to your site, proclaiming your organization's commitment to providing access for everyone.
"Any user, anywhere, at any type of terminal, should be able to access information. By creating Web sites according to today's accessibility guidelines, authors continue to fulfill that ideal."
