Section 508 also requires that individuals with disabilities, who are members of the public seeking information or services from a Federal agency, have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to that provided to the public who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. http://connect.educause.edu/display/34339#comments Access for Persons with Disabilities American Disabilities Act Contributed by Organizations or Campuses Articles, Papers, and Reports HTML Thu, 25 Jul 2002 14:00:19 -0500 drupal 34339 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/34050 These guidelines explain how to make Web content accessible to people with disabilities.
