>Disability Accessible Technology: Free Section 508 Webinar Thurs.
>Sept 13, 2 p.m. EST
>
>A webinar called "Dealing with the Section 508 Accessibility
>Mandate Today and Tomorrow" by Mike Paciello of The Paciello Group
>will occur on Thursday, September 13, at 2:00pm EST. This 30 minutes 
>long web-based seminar will provide information on what the impacts 
>are for Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Section 508 requires 
>the federal government to purchase accessible electronic and
>information technology for its employees and customers. Such
>purchases permit greater employment of people with disabilities by
>the federal government and influence greatly whether other
>products used in schools and offices and homes are also designed
>and made at the outset to be accessible to people with
>disabilities. Section 508 standards are currently under review and
>revision by the US Access Board, co-chaired by Mike Paciello. Time
>for audience questions will be made available at the conclusion of
>the Webinar.
>
>Although targeted to government and industry representatives, the
>information in this webinar should be interesting to any person
>with a disability concerned about accessible information
>technology. To register for this FREE Webinar simply go to:
