Accessibility for People with Disabilities and Compliance with Section 508 and WCAG 2.1
CAEP TAP is committed to making register.aebg.org and other websites developed by CAEP TAP accessible to people with disabilities. We strive to meet or exceed the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794d), as amended in 1998 and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 recommendations for making Web content more accessible.
Section 508 is a federal law that requires agencies to provide people with disabilities equal access to electronic information and data comparable to those who do not have disabilities, unless doing so would impose an undue burden on the agency. The Section 508 standards are the technical requirements and criteria used to determine whether the agency is meeting the requirements of this law.
While we do strive to make register.aebg.org as accessible as possible, some accessibility issues may be present due to limitations of and/or bugs in the technologies, browsers, and screen readers utilized. CAEP TAP is not responsible for accessibility issues with links to websites or content created by third parties.
Accessibility testing was performed using 4 different operating systems and browser combinations and 4 different screen readers. The testing profiles chosen are based on screen reader popularity and the browser with which they are most often paired to provide the highest level of support.
Testing Profile | Operating System | Browser | Screen Reader |
---|---|---|---|
Testing Profile 1 | Operating System Windows 10 | Browser Internet Explorer 11 | Screen Reader JAWS 17 and 18 |
Testing Profile 2 | Operating System Windows 10 | Browser Chrome and Firefox | Screen Reader NVDA (latest version) |
Testing Profile 3 | Operating System OS X 10.14 (Mojave) | Browser Chrome, Firefox and Safari | Screen Reader VoiceOver |
Testing Profile 4 | Operating System iOS (12 and 13) | Browser Safari | Screen Reader VoiceOver |
