Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act
FY 24 Governmentwide Section 508 Assessment
The General Services Administration (GSA) has released its second annual report on federal compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, as amended.

On January 18, 2017, the U.S. Access Board published a final rule updating accessibility requirements for information and communication technology (ICT) covered by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Section 255 of the Communications Act.
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Office of Government-wide Policy (OGP) is tasked under this law to provide technical assistance to help Federal agencies comply with these requirements, and ensure that covered ICT is accessible to, and usable by, individuals with disabilities.
