Why work with Ivanka on US Section 508 — ICT Accessibility Standards (Revised 2017)

Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 794d), as revised in January 2017 by the US Access Board, requires that all federal government ICT (information and communications technology) be accessible to people with disabilities. The revised standards incorporate WCAG 2.0 Level AA for web and electronic content. Applies to federal agencies developing, procuring, maintaining, or using ICT. The Revised 508 Standards align with EN 301 549 for international harmonisation. Enforced through complaint mechanisms, Section 508 coordinators, and OMB reporting.
