Making Documents Accessible

Accessibility is the design of products, devices, services, or environments to ensure all people have access regardless of their mental or physical abilities.

Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination by all Federal and State entities. Title II and III of the ADA relates to web content accessibility and closed captioning. Federal and State regulations require all content to be accessible as defined by the “Web Content Accessibility Guidelines” (WCAG) published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This applies to all digital content (web, e-mail, video, etc.).
