14 Title V Passage of Section 504 established the bridge between disability and anti-discrimination policy and law Statutory language of 504 is based on Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, more limited in coverage Regulations implementing 504 not passed until 1977!
15 Title V Section 501 Federal hiring Section 502 Compliance with accessibility standards (ATBCB) Section 503 Employment under federal contracts Section 504 Prohibits discrimination in all federally-funded programs Section 507 Interagency Disability Coordinating Council Section 508 Fed agency purchase of accessible equipment, electronic and info technology Section 509 Protection and Advocacy of Individual Rights
16 The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 Section 501 mandates non-discrimination by the Federal government in its own hiring practices and requires affirmative action in the hiring, placement, and advancement of people with disabilities.
17 The Rehabilitation Act Section 502 established the U.S. Access Board. Section 503 requires affirmative action and prohibits employment discrimination by Federal government contractors and sub-contractors with contracts of more than $10,000.
18 The Rehabilitation Act Section 504 states that no qualified individual with a disability in the United States shall be excluded from, denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity that either receives Federal financial assistance or is conducted by any Federal agency.

20 The Rehabilitation Act Section 508 requires Federal electronic and information technology to be accessible to people with disabilities, including employees and members of the public.
21 EIT Accessibility? Section 508 focuses on the overall accessibility of EIT systems, rather than providing accommodations at individual worksites.
22 Six Categories Covered by Section 508 Software Applications & Operating Systems Web Information Telecommunications Products Video & Multi-Media Products Desktop & Portable Computers Self Contained Products
23 Accessibility vs- Usability Individuals with disabilities may still need specific accessibility-related software or peripheral devices to be able to use an accessible system. Sidewalk vs Wheelchair Ramp
24 Accessible Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) A system that provides output only in audio format would not be accessible to people with hearing impairments this system could be made accessible by adding closed captions. Likewise, a system that only uses mouse actions for navigation would not be accessible to people who cannot use a mouse because of dexterity or visual impairment this system could be made accessible by enabling keyboard controls, such as using Function Keys, to allow mouse-independent navigation.
