Welcome to the Accessibility
Forum
The Accessibility Forum,
sponsored by the General Services Administration (GSA), has been
developing The Buy Accessible System--a suite of tools designed to
simplify the successful implementation of Section 508 for both
government and industry.
For federal agencies the Buy Accessible Wizard
is a guided process to ensure compliance.
For companies that produce
Electronic and Information Technology (E&IT) the Buy Accessible Data
Center provides an easy process for registering accessibility
information about their products and services. For more information
about the Accessibility Forum, click on “About the Forum” to the left.
