A Pithy Guide to Web Accessibility Site Map
Introduction
Note: This page is incomplete, but I am actively adding content. Because this page is largely a list of links with brief scope notes, a separate table of contents would be redundant. At the current time, this page covers only policies within the United States.
A Pithy Guide to Web Accessibility Policies web site aims to list an official state or organizational policy if one exists.
State policies cover only state owned or controlled web sites and often do not cover every state entity (e.g., it might cover only state agencies).
