    The Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities in various areas such as employment, transportation, public services, and electronic/information technologies. Section 508 specifically addresses how electronic and information technologies must be accessible to individuals with physical, sensory or cognitive disabilities, while the ADA and Rehabilitation Act more broadly mandate non-discrimination and support services for people with disabilities. These laws are enforced by multiple government agencies including the Department of Labor and Department of Justice.

    The Americans with Disability Act and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act

    The ADA prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in


    employment, transportation, public accommodation, communications, and
    governmental activities. The Rehabilitation Act authorizes grant programs of
    vocational rehabilitation, supported employment, independent living and
    client assistance. Section 508 states how all the electronic and information
    technology has to allow individuals with disabilities. 508 also addresses the
    access for people with physical, sensory or cognitive disabilities. These are
    enforced by Department of Labor, Equal Employment Opportunity
    Commission, Department of Transportation, Federal Communications
    Commission, and Department of Justice. These prohibit discrimination
    against persons with disabilities.
