The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 protects qualified individuals from being excluded from, denied the benefits of, or discriminated against because of their disability by any program or activity that receives funding or grants from the federal government.
Section 504 regulations differ between federal agencies, but they all include reasonable accommodation, program accessibility and effective communication.
Section 508 provides for individuals with disabilities to have access to electronic and information technology provided by the federal government. To be accessible, an information technology system must be able to be operated in a variety of ways.
