1.2: Best Practices
Identify and promote best practices for implementing the Section 508 law and the Section 508 Electronic and Information Technology
Accessibility Standards.
Stakeholder(s):
- Best Practices and Resources Subcommittee: The Best Practices and Resources Subcommittee serves as a forum for the development and promotion of best practices for Federal
Section 508 programs and policies. The subcommittee brings together a team of information technology (IT) professionals committed
to identifying the most successful IT accessibility practices being implemented in industry, government, and academia and
sharing them with agency Chief Information Officers (CIOs) as best practices to be considered for emulation across the Federal
government. The subcommittee will create an IT Accessibility Best Practices clearinghouse to facilitate information sharing.
In the future, the subcommittee hopes to establish Accessibility Centers of Excellence in agencies which are currently leaders
in Section 508 implementation. The centers will provide a source of highly trained, experienced accessibility practitioners
to assist Federal agencies with implementing the Section 508 law, regulations, and policies, including the refresh of the
Section 508 standards.
