Which law expanded access to electronic information for individuals with disabilities?

The correct answer is Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. This law specifically mandates that all federal agencies must make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Enacted in 1998, it requires that any technology, whether it be websites, software, or other electronic communications, be usable by individuals with various disabilities, ensuring equal access to information. This focus on electronic accessibility plays a crucial role in allowing individuals with disabilities to participate fully in the digital age.

The other laws listed, while significant in the context of disability rights, do not specifically address access to electronic information. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination based on disability in many areas including employment and public accommodations, but it does not specifically target electronic information. The Education for All Handicapped Children Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) primarily deal with the rights of students and the provision of education services, rather than the accessibility of electronic information. Thus, Section 508 stands out as the law directly related to making electronic information accessible for individuals with disabilities.
