WCAG

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are recommendations for making web content accessible for people with disabilities. Government websites (Federal, State, Municipal) are required under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) section 508 statute to meet certain accessibility standards and the WCAG defines those standards. The WCAG are published by the Web Accessibility Initiative which is a part of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). WCAG 2.0 was released in 2008. The present standard is 2.1 and 2.2 is slated to be released in the fall of 2022.
