Federal Government Not Complying with Web Site Accessibility Requirements, Study Indicates
A study published online in the journal Government Information Quarterly found that of 100 Web sites operated by federal government agencies, over 90 percent do not comply with government accessibility guidelines and likely cannot be used by people who are blind or have other perceptual or motor disabilities. The study is entitled “Accessibility of U.S. federal government home pages: Section 508 compliance and site accessibility statements.”
