The remainder of the course will discuss the provisions themselves, presenting each one individually. You'll gain an understanding of how each of the provisions affects development, and learn about assessment, development and remediation procedures.

Whether you’re developing new software or addressing the issues you've identified during the assessment of your existing software, you can use the guidelines to ensure that your software conforms to Section 508.
