The next webinar in the Section 508 Best Practices Webinar Series will take place January 28 from 1:00 to 2:30 (ET) and will provide an open question-and-answer session on the refreshed 508 Standards with Section 508 Specialists at the U.S. Access Board and the General Services Administration (GSA). Presenters will review questions that commonly arise in applying and meeting the 508 Standards. They will cover how the standards are used in the acquisition of information technology, interpretations of various provisions in the standards, how to validate conformance with Section 508 and various types of testing tools, resources that are available to help users understand and implement Section 508, and other topics. Questions can be submitted in advance of the session (total limited to 25) or can be posed during the live webinar.
