Introduction

Congratulations!

You have had an opportunity to learn a lot about testing software applications and operating systems for compliance with the requirements of Section 508 §1194.21. You have seen examples of conformant and non-conformant application features and have gained an appreciation of the importance of making software applications and operating systems accessible to users of assistive technology (AT). You have also learned that the design that accommodates users of AT is good design for all users.

You may wish to bookmark the home page of this course so you can easily come back to review a module or access the Glossary or Resources as you do your work.

The focus of this course has been testing software applications and operating systems for compliance with the Section 508 requirements. On the next page we give a brief introduction to some other Section 508 requirements.
