Where do I find chapter about Section 508 Compliance - US Government Requirement

Created by: stefek99

Dear All,

I just tried to find chapter about Section 508: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_508_Amendment_to_the_Rehabilitation_Act_of_1973

In 1998 the US Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act to require Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities

Some time ago I was working on Section 508 and here is the list of resource I've populated: https://docs.google.com/document/d/146H-d12F62AUocFX494qJ11ybWLp-GWnZgPeu-3scYM/edit

^^^ Anyone with link can comment, if you like it I can give you edit rights or even better - I can add an extra page about section 508.

Why Section 508 is important?

  • Money drive change.
  • Corporations have money ([Apple: 150$ billion](http://qz.com/61653/apple-cash-plan-* stock-buyback-or-more-dividends-likely-coming-this-spring/)) BTW: see their form
  • If we want to get a slice we need to make products meeting their specs.

I know that some items on the list are heavily outdated - see http://www.buyaccessible.gov/ - but this is the law.

Would you like me to do it?
Is there a general consensus to add section about Section 508?

Will greatly appreciate any feedback and comments.
