DoD Section 504
The team works throughout DoD to equip programs and activities with the AT and employment support services required to ensure timely, effective, and meaningful communication and information for individuals with disabilities. CAP actively conducts virtual and onsite audits for DoD community services and public programs.
CAP partners across DoD to ensure equal access by providing assistive technology to increase access to individuals with disabilities. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act prohibits discrimination based on disability in federally funded and conducted programs or activities in the U.S., including employment programs. Specific examples of locations for assistive technology kits include:
- DoD libraries
- DoD emergency preparedness programs
- DoD service centers
