Section 508 & WCAG 2.1 Accessibility Checker
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires federal agencies and their contractors to make electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. WCAG 2.1 Level AA provides the technical standard. This tool assesses your healthcare application across the four WCAG principles — Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust — plus testing and documentation practices critical for ensuring equitable access to health information and services.

Q1
Do all non-text content elements (medical images, charts, icons, buttons) have meaningful text alternatives (alt text, aria-label) that convey the same information to screen reader users?
Q2
Do all text and images of text meet the WCAG 2.1 Level AA minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, including within clinical dashboards and data visualizations?
Q3
Can users resize text up to 200% without loss of content or functionality, and does your layout adapt responsively without requiring horizontal scrolling at 320px viewport width?
Q4
Are data tables (lab results, medication lists, appointment schedules) properly marked up with header cells, scope attributes, and captions so screen readers can navigate them?
Q5
Do video or multimedia clinical education materials include synchronized captions and audio descriptions for all pre-recorded content?
