Our Belief

Cambio believes enterprises play a powerful role in ensuring technology helps bridge the divide for people with disabilities. Providing increased access to technologies that meet the needs of persons with disabilities lays the foundation that enable these employees to thrive. We take seriously our commitment to Section 508 compliance in all our work.
What is Section 508?
​Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 794d), as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-220), requires federal agencies to develop, procure, maintain, and use information and communications technology (ICT) accessible to people with disabilities regardless of whether they work for the federal government. The US Access Board established the Section 508 standards that implement the law and provide the accessibility requirements.

Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 794d), as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-220), requires federal agencies to develop, procure, maintain, and use information and communications technology (ICT) accessible to people with disabilities regardless of whether they work for the federal government. The US Access Board established the Section 508 standards that implement the law and provide the accessibility requirements.
 
ICT refers to any equipment or system used to create, convert, duplicate, or access information and data. Examples of ICT include, but are not limited to:
  • Telephones, smartphones, and mobile devices
  • Televisions, DVD players, and videotaped productions
  • Internet and intranet websites
  • PDF documents
  • Content on DVDs and CDs
  • Online training
  • Webinars and teleconferencing
  • Technical support call centers
  • Remote access websites and tools
  • Tablet, laptop, and desktop computers
  • Software and operating systems
  • User guides for software and tools
  • Copiers, printers, and fax machines

​Section 508 requires federal agencies to make their ICT—such as technology, online training, and websites—accessible for everyone. This means federal employees with disabilities can do their work on the accessible computers, phones, and equipment in their offices; take online training; or access the agency’s internal website to locate information. Section 508 also means persons with disabilities applying for jobs with the federal government, using an agency’s website to get details about a program, or completing an online form have access to the same information and resources available to anyone.
How does Cambio comply?
Our team is designing a work experience to help all employees feel that they belong, personally and professionally, and contribute to a culture of equality. A major component of this effort is creating accessibility in the workplace that removes barriers for persons with disabilities—both hidden and visible—so they can succeed.

 We strive to make our website as accessible as possible to people of all ability levels. As our guide, we use the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. Our goal is for CambioCG.com to meet Level AA standards, WCAG’s recommended level of conformance, for the entire site.
 
Cambio also seeks ways to embed accessibility forethought into everyday technology and content design. Our developers, programmers, and technologists use a checklist enumerating 508 considerations when designing new technologies or features to ensure compliance and accessibility for all.
 
We use Section 508 as a roadmap but strive to continuously learn, grow, and evolve to realize our vision of a workplace where people of all abilities can thrive.
