Section 508 Compliance

Section 508 Compliance refers to the requirement that federal electronic and information technology—such as websites, software, and digital content—must be accessible to individuals with disabilities. This means designing digital tools so that people with visual, auditory, mobility, or cognitive impairments can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with them effectively. The goal is to ensure equal access and opportunity for all users, regardless of their abilities. Compliance helps organizations meet legal obligations, promotes inclusivity, and improves usability for everyone.
