HRSA is committed to making its websites accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities. In keeping with its mission, HRSA complies by implementing the regulations of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and the HHS Secretary's Section 508 Implementation Policy.
All HRSA information should be accessible to screen readers and other assistive technologies, with the exception of some pre-2001 information.
Section 508 requires Federal agencies to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to and use of electronic and information technology (EIT) that is comparable to that provided to individuals without disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. The requirements of Section 508 apply to an agency's procurement of EIT, as well as the agency's development, maintenance or use of EIT.
It should be noted that Federal agencies have additional responsibilities under Sections 501 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. These Sections require that agencies provide reasonable accommodation to employees with disabilities and provide program access to members of the public with disabilities and take other actions necessary to prevent discrimination on the basis of disability in their programs.
