Effective October 1, 2024, CAP will no longer provide monitors. These items are considered off-the-shelf products and may be procured by your agency. For individuals who require an accommodation to support their vision condition, there are magnification software programs that may be requested through CAP.
If you have a need for an alternative monitor, please coordinate any requests with your agency’s Disability Program Manager or your command. If needed, CAP will provide needs assessments to help you and your agency identify the appropriate accommodation solution.
As is CAP’s standard policy, CAP cannot provide accommodations to contractors.
CAP funds interpreting services for DoW employees who attend job related training sessions lasting four hours or longer, but not to exceed two weeks. CAP will only consider funding services if the training is held in a DoW office or facility. Training held in non-DoW facilities and offices, including those occupied by CAP’s federal partners or private entities, are not eligible for consideration because the host, whether a federal agency or recipient of federal funds, has a legal obligation to ensure equal access. Complete CAP Accommodation Request Forms for sign language, oral or tactile interpreting services must be submitted no less than 15 business days prior to the start of the training/course.
Please provide the following information when submitting a CAP request:
Course/training title
Copy of training/course description
Copy of training/course registration
Start and end dates
Start and end times for each day
Location of training/course
Onsite point of contact (POC) information, including name, title, phone number and email address
Any special instructions, such as: the need for interpreters with security clearances, parking arrangements, public transportation, etc…
Please note, the requesting DoW agency must comply with the sign language, oral or tactile interpreting agency's cancellation policies (usually 48 or 72 hours). Please email the CAP Assessment Team at least one week (five business days) before the scheduled training/course if you need to cancel. Failure to comply with these policies may result in the requesting agency being responsible for any late cancellation fees.
Equipment will only be delivered to a Federal government facility. We will deliver to the official work address provided in the CAP Request Form.
CAP will make two shipment attempts using the address information provided. After the first attempt, the customer will be notified that shipment failed and will be asked to confirm address information. Be sure to confirm this information with the agency POC or mailroom/facility. If the second shipment is returned, the CAP accommodation request will be cancelled, and the customer will be required to work with their agency to obtain any necessary accommodations. Please ensure all of the information included in the CAP request is complete and correct to help facilitate a successful delivery.
In most cases, CAP staff members do not know which products are approved for your organization, as every organization has their own process for certifying products. CAP recommends that you check with your agency's IT department, IT help desk, or the Resource Information Management Office when trying to confirm if a product is approved for use. CAP staff members will work with you and your agency's designated officials to assist in the certification process by discussing specific assistive technologies and assisting agency personnel as needed.
Assistive technology should be installed by your organization's information technology support staff. CAP is not responsible for installing assistive technology.
CAP does not provide software to support Section 508 testing. If resources are needed to ensure compliance, we recommend visiting www.section508.gov
