Government Agency Captioning

Section 508 and ADA Accessibility

Did you know?

Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act as strengthened by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 requires that Federal agencies make their electronic and information technology (EIT) accessible to people with disabilities, including employees and the general public. The requirements of Section 508 apply to an agency's procurement of EIT, as well as to the agency's development, maintenance or use of EIT.

All training and informational video and multimedia productions that support the agency's mission, regardless of format, must be open or closed captioned if they contain speech or other audio information necessary for the comprehension of the content.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities by state and local government services, programs and activities. State and local governments must provide effective communication through the use of auxiliary aids and services when necessary to ensure equal access for individuals with disabilities.
