Statista reports revealed that 90% of the American population can’t imagine their life without the internet. With the rising rate of internet usage, it has become imperative for all sizes of businesses to make their products and offerings accessible to their potential customers; including those who have some sort of disabilities. In fact, the Federal Law ensures that an individual withphysical, cognitive or sensory disabilities should not be excluded from accessing commercial websites.

To strengthen the civil rights of people with disabilities, the federal government has enacted several game changing laws, like the Americans Disabilities Act (ADA), Rehabilitation Act and Communications Act. Definition of all these laws focuses on preventing discrimination against an individual due to their disabilities. The standards addressed in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act cover accessibility guidelines for Information and communication technology (ICT) products.
