ACCESSIBILITY
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is committed to providing accessible
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to individuals with disabilities,
including members of the public and federal employees, by meeting or exceeding
the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended
(29 U.S.C. 794d)
Section 508 requires agencies, during the procurement, development, maintenance,
or use of ICT, to make sure that individuals with disabilities have access to
and use of ICT information and data comparable to the access and use afforded to
individuals without disabilities (i.e., “ICT accessibility”), unless an undue
burden would be imposed on the agency. The Section 508 standards are the
technical requirements and criteria that are used to measure conformance with
the law and incorporate the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
2.0.
More information on Section 508 and the technical standards can be found on
Section508.gov.

both the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties and the Office of Chief
Information Officer.
