"Implementing accessible solutions within your agency is required by Section 508 even if you don't currently have any employees with disabilities."

This legislation is intended to address the needs of people with disabilities by creating standards for EIT procurements. The objective is to create an environment where everyone can work and in which you can attract and hire people with disabilities.
