New Resource Offers Guidance on Accessible Technology-Related Public Policy

From the Section 508 refresh to progress around Section 501, the regulatory landscape influencing accessible information and communications technology (ICT) is ever evolving. To help employers, employees, and technology providers learn about and understand the latest federal regulatory developments, the Partnership on Employment & Accessible Technology (PEAT) has launched “Policy Matters,” a centralized resource that covers what’s happening in the world of accessible technology-related public policy. Featuring easy-to-understand articles, policy briefs, and analyses, “Policy Matters” explores how key policy developments apply to the workplace — from laws and regulations to court decisions and proposed legislation. The free tool is designed to keep stakeholders informed about government efforts to ensure workplace technology is accessible to all employees — including those with disabilities.

Funded by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy, PEAT fosters collaboration and action around accessible technology in the workplace. For more information, visit http://www.PEATworks.org/Policy-Matters.
