[SEC508] TEITAC requirements by disability

[Phill Jenkins <pjenkins@us.ibm.com>]

Does anyone have a spreadsheet of the
TEITAC requirements by disability?

Has anyone summarize the requirements
listed in SubPart C (AKA provisions or checkpoints) into a sortable spreadsheet,
something like this?
REQUIREMENT        
       DISABILITY
1-A Closed Functionality    
           All
1-D Audio Information    
           Deafness, Hard
of Hearing
...

The TEITAC report includes details in
SubPart C for each requirement which includes a list of the disabilities
that would benefit from meeting the checkpoint. These requirements are
part of the report TEITAC recommended to the U.S. Access Board to refresh
the 508 standards. The final report is in a slightly harder to use format
than a summarized sortable spreadsheet would be.  

See SubPart C http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/refresh/report/#65
 

Each requirement (think checkpoint)
includes "Additional Information" which lists the
Disabilities affected.  For example, provision #1-A is listed below
and includes "Disabilities:
All". #1-D includes Disabilities:
Deafness, Hard of Hearing".
 

1. General Technical Requirements

1-A: Closed Functionality
If any functionality of a product is closed for any reason including policy constraints or technical limitations then that CLOSED FUNCTIONALITY must be made available to and operable by people with disabilities within the product itself. As a result, the following provisions would not apply to the CLOSED FUNCTIONALITY:

• 2.1-E - Connector or Connection Language
• 3-F - All Non-Text Objects
• 3-G - Human Language
• 3-H - Language of Parts
• 3-N - Link Purpose
• 3-O - Information and Relationships
• 3-P - User Interface Components (no consensus)
• 3-Q - Disruption of Access Features
• 3-U - AT Interoperability (partial consensus)
• 3-V - Accessibility Services
• 3-VV - Assistive Technology (no consensus)

• Text from Self Contained, Closed
• Source: {508}1194.25(a)
• Testability: Expert evaluation
• Disabilities: All

1-D: Audio Information
Products must provide a mode in which audio is not the only means of conveying
information, indicating an action, or prompting a response.
Note:  Before implementing a solution, please review the introductory
material on the differences between Section 255 and Section 508, as they
treat assistive technology (AT) solutions differently.
