The General Services Administration’s (GSA) Government-wide IT Accessibility Program will host an IT Accessibility Community Meeting on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM ET.
This session will feature two topics.
First, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) team will present “WILSON 508 Compliance Demo: Automating Accessible Document Remediation for Federal Teams.” This presentation will introduce WILSON, a tool designed to help federal teams identify and remediate Section 508 accessibility issues in documents. It will outline the accessibility compliance challenge and explain why accessible documents are both legally required and operationally important. The session will also show how WILSON can reduce manual remediation time, improve consistency, and support accessible content creation earlier in the document lifecycle. A live demonstration will walk through selecting documents, running accessibility checks and remediation, and reviewing both remediated outputs and exception reports.
Second, the GSA team will provide an overview and demonstration of Section508.gov, the federal government’s primary resource for guidance, playbooks, creating electronic content, and self-paced how-tos and training. The demo will highlight new features designed to help users stay informed more easily. This portion of the session is intended both to update current users and to orient new users to the site’s features, tools, and resources across a wide range of digital accessibility topics.
