  • Abstract
    In the USA, under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 - Section 508, individuals with disabilities can file a complaint concerning the inaccessibility of an agency´s electronic or information technology. Alternatively, individuals may file a civil action against an agency. Remedy is agency compliance, i.e., not a monetary penalty or reward.
