Section 508 Compliant Website

In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act to require Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Inaccessible technology interferes with an individual's ability to obtain and use information quickly and easily. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities, and to encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals. Washington Software has developed Section 508 websites since 2003 for the following agencies:

• U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)
• U.S. Department of Education (ED)
• U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS)
• U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD)
