The Eastchester.org web portal meets federal government standards for making
web content and applications usable for persons with disabilities. These "Electronic
and Information Technology Accessibility Standards" were established by
the Federal Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board to fulfill
the mandate of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998. Section
508 requires that all federal government agencies provide access to electronic
information and data for persons with disabilities that is comparable to the
access provided to other persons, unless doing so would impose an undue burden
on the agency.
The standards themselves can be found at Volume 65, Number 246 Fed. Reg.
Page 80499-80528 (December 21, 2000), or on the Section
508 website.
