Our in-house accessibility experts specialize in testing and ensuring that anyone can access and use our clients’ websites, applications, and electronic documents. A recent amendment to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 508 was created to mandate this accessibility among U.S. Military, as well as State and Federal Government users.
The Lighthouse provides Section 508 Compliance and Accessibility Testing to ensure that all electronic and information technology (IT) systems, including websites, which are developed, procured, maintained or used by the Federal Government, are accessible to people with disabilities.
508 Conformance and Usability Assessment:
- Determine, evaluate, and report on clients’ web-based applications, software, websites, and electronic documents for conformance, accessibility, and usability by individuals with disabilities.
- Identify deficiencies and provide recommendations for remediation – i.e. process changes, use of alternative tools, or systemic application modifications.
- Re-assessment, re-testing, and evaluation of remediation activities.
- Training and usability system development.
