WHAT IS 508 REMEDIATION?
508 Remediation refers to the process of addressing and fixing accessibility issues in digital content and technology to
ensure compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Section 508 is a U.S. federal law that mandates federal
agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. This includes
employees of the federal government as well as members of the public who may interact with government information
and services.
The primary goal of 508 Remediation services is to eliminate barriers to access for individuals with disabilities,
ensuring that they can fully and independently utilize digital resources, websites, applications, documents, and other
electronic information. Common disabilities that may affect digital accessibility include visual impairments, hearing
impairments, motor impairments, and cognitive or intellectual disabilities.
508 Remediation involves identifying, addressing, and fixing accessibility issues in digital content, platforms, and
technologies. This process often aligns with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), a set of international
guidelines for creating accessible web content.
WHY 508 REMEDIATION?
508 Remediation is necessary for several important reasons, primarily driven by legal requirements, ethical considerations,
and the desire to create an inclusive digital environment. Here are some key reasons why organizations undertake 508
Remediation:
Legal Compliance:

and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Non-compliance may lead to legal consequences,
including lawsuits and financial penalties.
Inclusive Design and Equal Access:
2.
Promoting Inclusivity: 508 Remediation is crucial for promoting inclusivity and ensuring that digital content and
technology are accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities. It aligns with the principles of equal access and
inclusion.
Government and Public Services:

Serving a Diverse Population: For government agencies, compliance with Section 508 is essential to ensure that public
services and information are accessible to all citizens, including those with disabilities.
Broader Audience Reach:
4.
Expanding User Base: By making digital content accessible, organizations can reach a broader audience, including
individuals with disabilities. This can lead to increased user engagement, customer satisfaction, and a positive impact
on brand reputation.
