Section 508 and the HHS Section 508 Enterprise Lifecycle - webinar Nov. 20

as shared by United States Access Board

The next webinar in the Section 508 Best Practices Webinar Series will take place November 20 from 1:00 to 2:30 (ET) and will offer a case study of how one agency, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), incorporates accessibility into the process of engineering and deploying large systems. Mark D. Urban, HHS Program Team Co-Chair and CDC Section 508 Coordinator, will describe how HHS ensures accessibility from the first idea until the system is retired. He will discuss how to integrate Section 508 into the established process for development and will address challenges of the iterative development process and the tradeoffs with large customizable off-the-shelf software packages.
