Federal Regulation Section 508--Federal government web sites must be accessible to individuals with any sort of physical impairment, including the visually impaired.

On June 25, 2001 the U.S. Government implemented Section 508 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act specifying accessibility compliance for all federal government (.gov) and military (.mil) websites, as well as sites provided under contract to a federal agency. Web sites securing these domain extensions must be accessible to individuals with any sort of physical impairment, including the visually impaired.

Section 508 is only the latest in a series of Federal guidelines and regulations designed to aid people with disabilities in gaining access to Federal government information. What sets Section 508 apart from previous legislation is that it’s the first piece of legislation that’s enforceable, with possible ramifications for those Federal agencies that fail to comply.

Many states have enacted similar accessibility regulations or have established separate agencies to increase access to assistive technology for those state residents with physical impairments, including the visually impaired.
