Accessibility services 

Softtek Government Solutions has significant experience and capability in delivering accessibility solutions for the federal government.

At a time when overall compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act from the U.S. Access Board is at or below average for the majority of agencies, it’s more important than ever to partner with trusted experts to improve compliance. Our experts help federal agencies comply with:

• The revised 508 standards that closely align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which provide comprehensive guidance for creating accessible digital content
• Mandates for equal access to information and communication technology (ICT) for individuals with disabilities

while following the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which includes requirements for identifying applicable standards, documenting exceptions, and identifying user needs.

Our Accessibility Maturity Assessment projects establish centralized accessibility governance and assessment capability. Softtek Government Solutions’ Software Application Assessment projects enhance your software development project to include advance accessibility assessment. Our Accessibility Solution Center projects implement a shared service model for conducting accessibility assessments and audits in a standardized fashion across the agency according to our accessibility prioritization model.
