VPAT 508 ADA Compliance

The accessibility standards outlined under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act are important to EMS Software. Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs) document product conformance to these guidelines. Our development approach strives to support the standards while continuing to update our software to keep pace with advances in technology. 

As described in the WCAG 2.0 Quick Reference List, these guidelines include: 
1.1 Text Alternatives: Provide text alternatives for any non-text content so that it can be changed into other forms people need, such as large print, braille, speech, symbols or simpler language. 
1.2 Time-based Media: Provide alternatives for time-based media. 
1.3 Adaptable: Create content that can be presented in different ways (for example simpler layout) without losing information or structure. 
1.4 Distinguishable: Make it easier for users to see and hear content including separating foreground from background. 
2.1 Keyboard Accessible: Make all functionality available from a keyboard. 
2.2 Enough Time: Provide users enough time to read and use content. 
2.3 Seizures: Do not design content in a way that is known to cause seizures. 
2.4 Navigable: Provide ways to help users navigate, find content, and determine where they are. 
3.1 Readable: Make text content readable and understandable. 
3.2 Predictable: Make Web pages appear and operate in predictable ways. 
3.3 Input Assistance: Help users avoid and correct mistakes. 
4.1 Compatible: Maximize compatibility with current and future user agents, including assistive technologies.
