Does Your Website Have an Accessibility Statement?
Federal agencies must maintain an accessibility statement on all inter- and intranet websites that includes contact information for the agency Section 508 program, date of the last update, and a feedback method.
Develop an Accessibility StatementOur Mission
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.
