Federal Accessibility Law

Lecture Notes

A pyramid of federal accessibility law is shown. At the bottom of the Pyramid is ADA, a very broad federal law which ensures access for both the public and private sector, but doesn't speak specifically to web accessibility. It serves as the broad foundation accessibility law. Section 504 is located above ADA on the pyramid because it is more specific to the public sector and education. Section 508 is at the top of the pyramid, because it is the most specific to web sites, applies only to designated agencies, and defines the meaning of accessibility of electronic and information technology very specifically.
