What is Section 508 of The Rehabilitation Act of 1973?
ADA – American disabilities act, The Rehabilitation Act – was originally signed into law in 1973. It prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in programs and services run by the federal government or its contractors and you are required to comply with federal conditions if you are a federal agency or run a program for the federal government. It has also become a standard for all businesses.
Section 508 covers technology procured by a federal agency under contract with a private entity or produced within the agency itself. It applies to all Digital Technology including software, web sites, web applications, and hardware applications such as computers, networks, peripherals, and other types of electronic office equipment.
