Types of 508 Remediation Services

PDF Remediation

Portable Document Format(PDF) is a widely used document format. Many organizations, including the government, use PDF documents for various purposes. At times, PDF documents can be challenging for users with disabilities to access and read due to various factors like image heavy content etc. We use several PDF remediation techniques to comply with Section 508, such as

  • Adding alt text to images
  • Ensuing document structure, including headings, lists, and tables
  • Adding tags to the PDF document
  • Providing transcripts and closed captions to the multimedia content,
  • Color contrast optimization
  • Make sure font size, typeface and spacing are easy to read

We ensure that with the help of our Section 508 PDF accessibility services, all PDF documents are made accessible, even for individuals with disabilities.

Section 508 Code Optimization

Code Optimization

We optimize the underlying code of the website or application to make it accessible to individuals with disabilities, in accordance with Section 508. The code must be compatible with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard-only navigation.

Our developers make sure that all interactive elements, such as buttons and links, are clearly labeled. All functionality can be accessed with only a keyboard, as some users with physical impairments may be unable to use a mouse.

Website Accessibility Audit

In our accessibility audit services, we perform a web accessibility audit to identify any barriers to accessibility. It may include a review of the website’s design, layout, content, the use of color contrast, the availability of alternative text for images, and an evaluation of the website’s compatibility with assistive technologies.

Our experts review the website’s accessibility policy and guidelines to meet the requirements of the 508 standards to avoid any potential legal liabilities.
