New on Section508.gov: Integrating Accessibility into DEIA Implementation Plans

New on Section508.gov: Integrating Accessibility into DEIA Implementation Plans — Accessibility, the “A” in DEIA, is a foundation on which the federal workforce must build diversity, equity and inclusion for people with disabilities. Without accessibility, we cannot truly achieve the others.

The guidance contained in this article is a preliminary step before offering broader updates to guidance and best practices materials to meet this objective.
