Accessibility and 508 Compliance
The Rehabilitation
Act Amendments of 1998 require that electronic data and information technology provided
by the Federal Government be accessible to people with disabilities.
Section 508 of the Act, which focuses on information disseminated
through the Web, requires that "alt" (alternative)
text be supplied with all graphics. These brief descriptions
of graphic elements (20 words or fewer) allow visually impaired
people who use special text-reading software or people who view
the site without graphics to understand what the images convey.
OVC complies with this and all standards of section 508.
