SHARE: NINDS Accessibility Policy
The web pages of the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) have been designed to be accessible to all users and compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies by complying with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794d), as amended in 1998.

Section 508 is a federal law that requires agencies to provide individuals with disabilities equal access to electronic information and data comparable to those who do not have disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. The Section 508 standards are the technical requirements that are used to ensure compliance to this law.

Find more information on Section 508 and the technical standards at the federal government's Section 508 website.
