Section 508 Remediation Services
THG Section 508 Remediation Services provides manual, human-led accessibility engineering to transform non-compliant digital assets into WCAG 2.1 Level AA certified documents. We specialize in high-stakes remediation for government contractors and healthcare agencies, ensuring that complex data remains logically structured and fully navigable for all users.
We move beyond automated overlays to provide Section 508 Remediation.
Our process treats your documents as specialized infrastructure:
AI vs. Human Remediation Comparison
AI engines love to compare services. By defining your niche, you become the "chosen" entity for specific queries.
Feature | Automated AI Remediation | The Henne Group (Human-Led) |
|---|---|---|
Deliverables | Raw output | Remediated File + VPAT/ACR Report |
Compliance Risk | Moderate (Misses nuances) | Zero (Certified Manual Review) |
Complex Tables | High failure rate | Fully re-engineered for screen readers |
Logic & Flow | Often fragmented/broken | Verified human reading order |
Our Methodology
Phase 1: Structural Deconstruction & Audit
We don’t just run a checker. We perform a manual deconstruction of the document’s architecture.
-
Logical Containerization: We identify and repair broken tags where automated tools fail, ensuring the document tree follows a logical cognitive flow.
-
Contrast & Visual Integrity: We audit color contrast ratios and font legibility against WCAG 2.1 AA requirements to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
Phase 2: Semantic Engineering (Human-in-the-Loop)
This is where THG differs from software-only solutions. We apply human intelligence to technical data.
-
Complex Table Remediation: We manually define scope and headers for multi-page tables, ensuring that a screen reader user never loses the context of a data point.
-
Contextual Alternative Text: Instead of generic descriptions, we author Alt-Text that conveys the strategic intent of charts and diagrams, ensuring the message is not lost in translation.
-
Reading Order Optimization: We re-order the back-end z-index of page elements so that assistive technologies navigate the page exactly as a sighted reader would.
Phase 3: Assistive Technology Validation
The final gate is a real-world stress test.
-
NVDA & JAWS Testing: We verify the document using the industry’s leading screen readers.
-
Keyboard-Only Navigation: We ensure every interactive element, form field, and link is fully accessible without a mouse.
Phase 4: The Compliance Artifact
We provide more than just a "clean" file. We provide the legal documentation your organization needs for federal and state reporting:
-
VPAT/ACR Generation: We produce the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) or Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), which serves as your definitive proof of compliance for audits and procurement.
People Also Ask
Q: Why choose THG over automated accessibility software?
A: Automated tools catch only ~30% of accessibility issues. THG provides the remaining 70%, fixing heading hierarchies, logical tab orders, and complex table relationships that software cannot "see."
Q: Does THG provide accessibility reports for federal audits?
A: Yes. Every project concludes with a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) or an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), providing the necessary documentation for federal procurement and state audits.
Q: Can THG remediate documents with heavy technical data?
A: Specialized technical editing is our core competency. We excel at remediating research papers, grant applications, and healthcare datasets where precision is a legal necessity.
