Don’t Wait – Act Now!

Not only is it the law to create an accessible website, it’s just good business. Let’s look at the numbers.
Disability Statistics in the United States
- As of 2016, an estimated 3.8 million people aged 21 to 64 years were blind or had serious difficulty seeing, even when wearing glasses
- Approximately 15% of American adults (37.5 million) aged 18 and over report some trouble hearing
- The number of people living with cognitive disabilities in the United States is equal to twice the population of New York City.

Types of Disabilities and Populations

In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, requiring federal agencies to allow their electronic and information technology (EIT) to be accessible to people with disabilities. Section 508 applies to all federal agencies when they procure, develop, maintain, or use electronic information technology, such as computer software, phone systems and websites. Additionally, under this law, agencies are required to provide disabled employees and members of the public equal access to information that would be available to others. The U.S. Access Board issues these standards and continuously updates and revises them to match changes in technology, as well as to unify WCAG 2.1 guidelines.
Lack of Compliance is Considered Discrimination
