April 22 Tuition-based Clinic: The Other Side of Section 508
Presenter: Doug Wakefield of the Federal Access Board.  When anyone says,
"Section 508", everyone automatically thinks about the Federal Web
accessibility standards. However, there is a forgotten but very important
other side to these standards. Section 508 relates to access to electronic
information, and only one part relates to the Web. The other side relates
to equipment and electronic information at a physical location.
