Section 508 compliance refers to a U.S. federal requirement that ensures government electronic and information technology is accessible to people with disabilities. This includes websites, videos, digital documents, live streams, software, and online communications used by federal agencies and many state and local governments. To meet Section 508 standards, content must include accessible features such as closed captions, transcripts, audio descriptions, and keyboard-friendly navigation. Section 508 compliance helps government agencies provide equal access to information, meet legal obligations, reduce risk, and ensure all members of the public, including those with hearing, vision, or cognitive disabilities, can fully engage with government content and services. Verbit’s accessibility solutions help to support government Section 508 compliance needs.
