Disability Accessible Technology: Free Section 508 Webinar Thurs. 
Sept 13, 2 p.m. EST
 
A webinar called "Dealing with the Section 508 Accessibility Mandate
Today and Tomorrow" by Mike Paciello of The Paciello Group will occur on


Thursday, September 13, at 2:00pm EST. This 30 minutes long web- based
seminar will provide information on what the impacts are for Section 508
of the Rehabilitation Act. Section 508 requires the federal government
to purchase accessible electronic and information technology for its
employees and customers. Such purchases permit greater employment of
people with disabilities by the federal government and influence greatly
whether other products used in schools and offices and homes are also
designed and made at the outset to be accessible to people with
disabilities. Section 508 standards are currently under review and
revision by the US Access Board, co-chaired by Mike Paciello. Time for
audience questions will be made available at the conclusion of the
Webinar.
 
Although targeted to government and industry representatives, the
information in this webinar should be interesting to any person with a
disability concerned about accessible information technology. To
register for this FREE Webinar simply go to:

There is no obligation. This event is expected to be informative and
lively.
