Computer/Electronic Accommodations Program (CAP)
The Computer/Electronic Accommodations Program (CAP) provides assistive technology and services to people with disabilities, Federal managers, supervisors, and IT professionals. CAP increases access to information and works to remove barriers to employment opportunities by eliminating the costs of assistive technology and accommodation solutions.
CAP's mission is to ensure that people with disabilities have equal access to the information environment and opportunities in the DoD and throughout the Federal government. By fulfilling this mission of providing real solutions for real needs, CAP is helping to make the Federal government the model employer for people with disabilities by eliminating the costs of assistive technology and accommodation solutions.
The Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness established CAP in 1990, and following the National Defense Authorization Act of October 2000, Congress granted CAP the authority to provide assistive technology, devices, and services free of charge to Federal agencies that have a partnership agreement with CAP. The TRICARE Management Activity, a field activity in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs), serves as the executive agent for CAP.
