Section 508 Compliance Services - Cognitive Medical Systems

Home | Capabilities | Section 508 Compliance

Cognitive is committed to providing high-quality products and services that are both useful and accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We support the U.S. government’s goal of making electronically delivered information accessible through our Section 508 compliance services.

Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794d) requires that federal agencies meet accessibility standards when acquiring, developing, maintaining, or using information technology. This eliminates barriers that prevent people with disabilities from accessing electronic information and encourages the development of technologies that enhance accessibility.

Through our comprehensive Section 508 compliance and remediation services, Cognitive can ensure your team and beneficiaries are able to access the essential IT tools they need, without barriers.

Ensuring Accessibility Now and in the Future

Our compliance services work to ensure accessibility for the widest range of users. Our commitment involves ongoing testing and assessment of our software products over time to ensure ongoing applicability. What’s more, Section 508-compliant status is disclosed for all of our products.
Products subject to accessibility requirements include:

End-user applications and components
Reporting applications and components designated for use by the public
Maintenance and reporting applications designated for use by local, state, and federal agencies
Documents that will be shared or used with end users

An Ecosystem of Accessibility

Great software design is just one piece of the puzzle. Accessibility also depends upon the hardware, operating systems, and related devices on which Cognitive’s solutions depend. That’s why we collaborate with clients, manufacturers, and government agencies to ensure that software solutions run within a Section 508-compliant hardware and operating environment.
