Accessible Alzheimer's Disease Modules (508 Compliant)
Online Modules
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires federal agencies to ensure that their
information and communication technology (ICT) is accessible to people with disabilities,
unless certain exceptions apply. Specifically, Section 508 requires federal agencies
to ensure that ICT they develop, procure, maintain, or use allows employees with disabilities
and individuals with disabilities who are members of the public to have access to
and use of information and data. This access should be comparable to that available
to employees and members of the public without disabilities. https://www.justice.gov/crt/section-508-home-page-0
