At [Global Trick Tech Serve], we are committed to helping our clients achieve compliance with the Section 508 requirements for accessibility in electronic documents. Our Document Remediation services ensure that your documents are accessible to people with disabilities, as required by law.
508 Compliance refers to the standards set by the U.S. federal government for making electronic and information technology (EIT) accessible to people with disabilities. The goal of 508 Compliance is to ensure that individuals with disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, or motor impairments, have equal access to and use of information technology. This includes websites, software applications, and other forms of EIT. To meet these standards, organizations must follow specific guidelines for accessibility, including proper labeling of images, alternative text descriptions, and providing keyboard navigation. Ensuring 508 Compliance not only helps organizations comply with the law but also benefits the wider community by making EIT more inclusive and accessible to everyone.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 is a set of guidelines and standards for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those who use assistive technologies such as screen readers. The guidelines provide a comprehensive approach to web accessibility and are organized into four main principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust. WCAG 2.1 covers a wide range of accessibility issues including text alternatives, adequate contrast, keyboard accessibility, and more. It is an internationally recognized standard and is used by organizations, governments, and businesses around the world to ensure their web content is accessible to all users.
The first step in the process is to assess the current state of the electronic documents in question. This includes reviewing the content and formatting to identify any potential accessibility issues.
Based on the assessment, our team will identify any accessibility issues that need to be addressed to achieve 508 Compliance. This may include issues related to text, images, tables, and other elements in the document.
Once the issues have been identified, our team will provide recommendations for remediation. These recommendations may include changes to the document’s structure, formatting, or content, as well as the use of alternative text and other accessibility features.
Based on the recommendations, our team will perform the necessary remediation to make the document accessible and compliant with 508 requirements. This may involve editing the document, adding accessibility features, and testing to ensure the document is usable by people with disabilities.
The final step in the process is to validate the document to ensure that it meets 508 Compliance requirements. This may include automated accessibility testing and manual testing by our team of experts.
Once the document has been validated, it will be delivered to the client, ready for use. Our team will provide ongoing support to ensure that the document remains accessible and compliant over time.
