  2. WHAT IS 508 REMEDIATION? 508 Remediation refers to the process of addressing and fixing accessibility issues in digital content and technology to ensure compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Section 508 is a U.S. federal law that mandates federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. This includes employees of the federal government as well as members of the public who may interact with government information and services. The primary goal of 508 Remediation services is to eliminate barriers to access for individuals with disabilities, ensuring that they can fully and independently utilize digital resources, websites, applications, documents, and other electronic information. Common disabilities that may affect digital accessibility include visual impairments, hearing impairments, motor impairments, and cognitive or intellectual disabilities. 508 Remediation involves identifying, addressing, and fixing accessibility issues in digital content, platforms, and technologies. This process often aligns with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), a set of international guidelines for creating accessible web content.
