Accessibility Tip: What Is a VPAT?

Posted:

A VPAT, which stands for Voluntary Product Accessibility Template, documents a software's compliance with Section 508 accessibility standards. When purchasing software through RITE Operations, we check to ensure that the vendor has a VPAT for the product. If you purchase software without going through RITE Operations, always ask the vendor for a copy of its VPAT. You may request training from Instructional Design and Training on this or other accessibility issues.
