508 Compliance: Creating Accessible Documents

Preparing Documents with 508 Compliance in Mind
Federal agencies are required to provide electronic documents and information technology in a format that is accessible to people with disabilities under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
An estimated 4.4 million people use screen readers in the U.S. Ensuring your document can be correctly translated by a screen reader is essential and required by law. Depending on the length of the document and the number of visuals included, ensuring 508 compliance can be very time-consuming. Project managers, subject matter experts, and technical writers can save time and money by making it a consideration on day one.
In this webinar, you will learn simple but important steps to take in the initial set-up of a document as well as considerations for creating tables and inserting graphics and photos. We will demonstrate simple tips to follow and highlight common bad habits to avoid.
