Choose software that will help your organization meet Section 508 standards and produce accessible content. Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs) specify the details of the law and outline the accessibility-related features of various products.
Use VPATs to choose the right software
A VPAT is a standardized form that lists all of the regulations of Section 508 and explains how a given product helps you comply with each regulation. The VPAT was developed by the Information Technology Industry Council to be used across the software industry. As more and more companies complete VPATs for their software products, you can evaluate a single product by consulting its VPAT, or print out the VPATs of several products for a side-by-side comparison.
