HOW DO I COMPLY WITH SECTION 508

1. Scope - meaning define the parts of your external and internal web-sites and web-applications that should be made compliant
2. Assess - where your sites are not meeting Section 508 requirements
3. Fix the violations of Section 508 found during the assessment
4. Sustain - the compliant web-site by ensuring that changes and additions to the web-site continue to be Section 508 compliant
