ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT |
The Rehabilitation Act of
1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of
disability in programs conducted by Federal
agencies, in programs receiving Federal
financial assistance, in Federal employment, and
in the employment practices of Federal
contractors.
Section 504 states that "no qualified individual
with a disability in the United States shall be
excluded from, denied the benefits of, or be
subjected to discrimination under" any program
or activity that either receives Federal
financial assistance or is conducted by any
Executive agency.
Section 508 now establishes requirements for
electronic and information technology developed,
maintained, procured, or used by the Federal
government. Section 508 requires Federal
electronic and information technology to be
accessible to people with disabilities,
including employees and members of the public.
In December 2000 the Federal Access Board issued
final standards for electronic and information
technology under Section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act. These were adopted and
published in the Federal Registrar in April 2001
with enforcement to begin June 21, 2001.
While these standards currently apply to federal
government, it is the direct responsibility of
Florida state government agencies and their web
designers and developers to become familiar with
these accessibility guidelines and to apply
these principles in designing and creating any
official State of Florida web site.
While the core structure of Specialized
Treatment, Education and Prevention Services,
Inc. already adheres to Section 508 Compliance,
there are ongoing progressive measures in place
to assure continued and complete compliance
throughout the agency. In an effort to assist
all locations with compliance, the following
online resources are provided:
