Accessibility vs. Accommodation

The considerations for accessibility are proactive, not ... accommodations as outlined in Section 504. Section 504 includes provisions for individuals with disabilities to participate in programs and services with the use of auxiliary aids, where necessary [accommodations]. ... Section 508 requires that persons with disabilities have comparable access to and use of ICT — a subtle but meaningful distinction. (bold type added by presenter)
