IITAA Workgroup Reference Materials

The IITAA Standards are likely to be based largely on Section 508, the Illinois Web Accessibility Standards, UIUC's Web Accessibility "Best Practices", and Telecommunications Act standards. Please review these items first:

• Section 508 Standards (all technologies)
• W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (web only)
• Telecommunications Act Accessibility Guidelines (telecommunications only)

We would also like to be aware of work currently being done to update Section 508 and the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines:

• TEITAC Report to the Access Board (April 2008)
• W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0
