Steve comments on the coming impact of Section 508: "All states have
previously issued assurances from the governor's office that they will
abide by section 508. The states have finally realized that they signed
those forms and they are going to be obliged to comply with section 508,
but we're still waiting for the Department of Education as well as the
Justice department to issue
policy guidelines on this matter."
Interview will be at: http://easi.cc and then select links for webcasts or
