Accessibility and Diversity in the Work Place
There is nothing more difficult...than
to take the lead in the introduction
of a new order of things. (Niccolo Machiavelli)
"Section 508 refers to a statutory section in the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973 (found at 29 U.S.C. 794d). Congress significantly strengthened
section 508 in the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. Its primary
purpose is to provide access to and use of Federal executive agencies’
electronic and information technology (EIT) by individuals with
disabilities." Section 508 will also apply to non-profit
and business entities.Under this new law any individual
that is unable to access your web site because it is non-compliant
may now file a lawsuit against your organization.

Section 508 requirements are separate from, but complementary to,
requirements in sections 501 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act that
require, among other things, that agencies provide reasonable accommodations
for employees with disabilities, provide program access to members
of the public with disabilities, and take other actions necessary
to prevent discrimination on the basis of disability in their programs.
