1
00:00:01,469 --> 00:00:05,985
This presentation is going to
cover title two of the Americans

2
00:00:06,058 --> 00:00:09,263
with Disabilities Act and
Section 508 of the

3
00:00:09,336 --> 00:00:13,634
Rehabilitation Act. Some of the
learning objectives of this

4
00:00:13,707 --> 00:00:17,859
brief video is to provide an
overview of title two of the

5
00:00:17,932 --> 00:00:22,521
Americans with Disabilities Act
requirements, understanding the

6
00:00:22,594 --> 00:00:26,382
role of section 508 in your
organization, and really

7
00:00:26,455 --> 00:00:30,972
interpret what exactly is needed
to have 508 compliance. We're

8
00:00:31,044 --> 00:00:35,197
going to start off with title
two, which is for state and

9
00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:39,932
local governments. So title two
of the ADEA applies to state and

10
00:00:40,005 --> 00:00:44,594
local government entities. And
in subtitle a protects qualified

11
00:00:44,667 --> 00:00:49,183
individuals with disabilities
from discrimination on the basis

12
00:00:49,256 --> 00:00:53,700
of disabilities in services,
programs and activities provided

13
00:00:53,773 --> 00:00:57,634
by the state and local
government entities. Title two

14
00:00:57,706 --> 00:01:01,786
extends the prohibition on
discrimination established by

15
00:01:01,859 --> 00:01:05,428
section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973. As

16
00:01:05,501 --> 00:01:09,508
amended to all activities of
state and local government

17
00:01:09,580 --> 00:01:13,369
regardless of whether these
entities receive federal

18
00:01:13,441 --> 00:01:17,739
financial assistance. So what
exactly is section 508? Well,

19
00:01:17,812 --> 00:01:21,600
section five away of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973,

20
00:01:21,673 --> 00:01:25,315
Congress amended the
Rehabilitation Act to require

21
00:01:25,388 --> 00:01:29,541
federal agencies to make their
electronic and information

22
00:01:29,613 --> 00:01:33,839
technology accessible to people
with disabilities. The law

23
00:01:33,911 --> 00:01:38,209
applies to all federal agencies
when they develop, procure,

24
00:01:38,282 --> 00:01:42,726
maintain, or use electronic and
information technology. Under

25
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:47,170
Section Five away, agencies must
give disabled employees and

26
00:01:47,242 --> 00:01:51,759
members of the public access to
information that is comparable

27
00:01:51,832 --> 00:01:55,838
to the access available to
others. Now, section 508 was

28
00:01:55,911 --> 00:02:00,355
amended in 2018 to also include
the web content accessibility

29
00:02:00,428 --> 00:02:04,507
guidelines 2.0 AA standards. So
the revised fiber weight

30
00:02:04,580 --> 00:02:08,732
standards incorporate by
reference the WCAG 2.0, double A

31
00:02:08,805 --> 00:02:13,394
success criteria and apply the
WCAG 2.0 AA success criteria and

32
00:02:13,467 --> 00:02:17,765
conformance requirements to both
web and non web electronic

33
00:02:17,838 --> 00:02:21,335
content. The scoping
requirements for electronic

34
00:02:21,408 --> 00:02:25,633
content applies to non web
electronic documents regardless

35
00:02:25,706 --> 00:02:29,785
of format, and other scoping
provisions apply to non web

36
00:02:29,858 --> 00:02:33,573
software. There is no
distinction between web pages

37
00:02:33,646 --> 00:02:38,017
and non web content. Because the
same accessibility needs to

38
00:02:38,090 --> 00:02:41,513
exist for all electronic
content. We CAG 2.0 AA

39
00:02:41,586 --> 00:02:45,156
standards. This conformance
level is used in most

40
00:02:45,229 --> 00:02:49,089
accessibility rules and
regulations around the world,

41
00:02:49,162 --> 00:02:53,679
including the ADA to meet WCAG
2.0 AA conformance. The website

42
00:02:53,752 --> 00:02:58,341
is usable and understandable for
the majority of people with or

43
00:02:58,414 --> 00:03:02,566
without disabilities, and some
notable WCAG 2.0 standards

44
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,083
include color contrast, in most
cases is at least 4.5 to one.

45
00:03:07,156 --> 00:03:11,599
Alt text or a similar solution
is used for images that convey

46
00:03:11,672 --> 00:03:15,897
meaning. navigation elements are
consistent throughout the

47
00:03:15,970 --> 00:03:20,122
website. form fields have
accurate labels, status updates

48
00:03:20,195 --> 00:03:24,857
can be conveyed through a screen
reader and headings are used in

49
00:03:24,930 --> 00:03:29,301
a logical order. These are just
some of the requirements for

50
00:03:29,374 --> 00:03:30,030
double A.

51
00:03:32,310 --> 00:03:37,170
Now, what does this all mean?
Well, in plain terms, this

52
00:03:37,170 --> 00:03:40,650
requires federal agencies to
make their information and

53
00:03:40,650 --> 00:03:43,710
communication technology
accessible to people with

54
00:03:43,710 --> 00:03:47,520
disabilities in applies to the
development, procurement,

55
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,940
maintenance and use of
information and communication

56
00:03:50,940 --> 00:03:54,990
technology. Agencies must give
disabled employees, students and

57
00:03:54,990 --> 00:03:59,220
members of the public access to
information comparable to the

58
00:03:59,220 --> 00:04:04,110
access available to others. On
this slide, there is an image

59
00:04:04,140 --> 00:04:08,190
that has the word equality and
equity. On the equality side of

60
00:04:08,190 --> 00:04:12,360
the image. There are three
people of different sizes who

61
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,460
are reaching up to get an apple
out of the tree. Each of them

62
00:04:17,490 --> 00:04:22,290
has the same size box, but only
one of the people can actually

63
00:04:22,290 --> 00:04:25,800
reach the apple. On the right
side of the image. We have the

64
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,170
word equity, and there are three
different sized individuals with

65
00:04:31,170 --> 00:04:35,610
different size boxes. Each of
the people in the equity side

66
00:04:35,610 --> 00:04:39,750
are able to reach an apple so
it's much more equitable. What

67
00:04:39,750 --> 00:04:43,890
are some overall best practices
for double a compliance and

68
00:04:43,890 --> 00:04:47,400
section five away in general?
Well, all of your images,

69
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,030
graphics and charts should have
detailed alternate texts. You

70
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:55,170
want to avoid using images that
contain words. documents should

71
00:04:55,170 --> 00:04:58,410
be made accessible that are
posted online. Try to use fonts

72
00:04:58,410 --> 00:05:02,670
like Tahoma collibra Helvetica
Arial Verdana and times new

73
00:05:02,670 --> 00:05:07,020
roman be aware of other color
contrast requirements, we highly

74
00:05:07,020 --> 00:05:10,350
recommend installing a third
party tool that you can test on

75
00:05:10,350 --> 00:05:15,270
the fly. Be sure to not use
color as the sole method of

76
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:18,390
conveying content or
distinguishing visual elements

77
00:05:18,420 --> 00:05:22,710
such as size, shape, and
location. All of the tables must

78
00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:26,190
have proper headers applied and
should be only used to present

79
00:05:26,190 --> 00:05:31,710
data. And all videos require
captions and auto generated is

80
00:05:31,710 --> 00:05:33,000
not sufficient enough.
