Learn about Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act that mandates any Electronic & Information Technology that is "procured, developed, maintained, or used" by the Federal Government be accessible to persons with disabilities. Find out about the revised Section 508 Standard coming out for review and how to comment on it. Discover how the Computer Electronic Accessibility Program (CAP) can help your government organization provide assistive technology to persons within your organization that require special accommodations for access in their work environment. All this and more from a panel of government accessibility experts.
