Linda,

    I found this on the ADA Homepage.

Since issuing its standards for electronic and information technology under
section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Board has maintained a program of
continuing on-line guidance and training on compliance with the standards. The
section 508 standards cover various means of disseminating information,
including computers, software, websites, and electronic office equipment.  Federal
agencies must ensure that the technologies they procure are accessible according
to the standards.

Since Section 508 is part of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, I am not sure
it's part of trhe ADA per se. But it is a Federal reg.

Always glad to  help a struggling doctoral student.
