Section 508 Technical Support to HHS

New Editions provides training and technical assistance on Section 508 and the Secretary’s Section 508 Implementation Policy to designated individuals in the HHS agency and the Office of the Secretary. Section 508 requires electronic and information technology procured, developed, maintained or used to be accessible to its employees and customers with disabilities. New Editions staff members work directly with Section 508 Officials and Coordinators at each agency to ensure their understanding of the legal, technical, and policy framework of Section 508 at HHS. We provide quality improvement analyses and reports to ensure that HHS Chief Information Offices and the OD have comprehensive information on the impact of the Section 508 technical assistance and training programs.

“The Office on Disability is totally satisfied with New Editions. There is 100% response to all matters in ensuring a comprehensive HHS-wide Section 508 adherence process via training, technical assistance, consultation, web accessibility, and overall interface with all HHS OPDIVs’ government and contract staff.”

Eileen Elias, Deputy Director, Office on Disability.
