Section 508

The Rehabilitation Act of 1973's Sections 508 and 501 are frequently mistaken with one another. Regardless of whether they are federal employees or not, Section 508 mandates that the government acquire, develop, use, and maintain ICT that is accessible to people with disabilities. A person with a disability who is either applying for a position with the federal government or who is already employed by it is covered by Section 501.

This implies that federal workers with disabilities can complete their work on the equipment, phones, and computers in their offices that are accessible, participate in online training
