 
WE SUPPORT GOVERNMENT AGENCIES IN COMPLIANCE
WITH SECTION 508 OF THE ADA!
(The ADA
is: "Americans with a Disabilities Act", designed to provide access for
those who are disabled!)
GENERAL INFO:
The founder of Computer Sales and Service Company (CompAmerica) is a pioneer
in the development of Public Sponsored programs to protect the Disabled,
whether they are Veterans of Foreign Wars injured in service to our country,
or were injured or born with a disability. Since 1968 has been at the
helm of movements to organize programs that enabled persons with a
disability to be able to gain access to facilities, technology,
transportation, essential life support, medical care and education. He
was a pioneer in the development of curb cuts, compliant
buildings and facilities, and other services, as part of his ongoing support
for Disabled Veterans of Foreign Wars, and others. He believes that
not only is the Americans with a Disabilities Act a very important part of
fulfilling our obligation to all those who have sustained a disabling injury
in support of our Freedom, but that as human beings, we have a mandate to
protect or assist those among us who have been weakened or prevented from
having a full quality of life, by making it possible for them to overcome
their disability and attain their fullest potential.
Our found cites his acquaintance Dr. Stephen Hawking, who suffers from ALS,
as exactly a case in point, who has advanced mathematics, the science of
space-time physics, and has contributed to the education of innumerable
students of math, physics, and science, as well as to the public, through
his books and teachings, all the while suffering from a crippling disorder
that has kept him wheelchair bound. He cites former commander-in-chief and
President Franklyn Delano Roosevelt, without whom their might not have been
a Social Security System who brought America from a nearly sleepy state to
full military response to attacks upon it by Germany and Japan, all from a
wheelchair. He cites Ludwig Van Beethoven, who produced some of the
most remarkable Musical Symphonies in classical music history at the time of
the Napoleonic Wars, even though he was materially unable to hear a note of
his own musical works.
And he cites Thomas Alva Edison who, in our neighboring communities of Menlo
Park, Edison, and East Orange, NJ, became the most prolific developer of
technology advancement of his era. Edison was also partially deaf as a
result of an incident when a young man, whose disability contributed to his
own strivings to produce such inventions as the Phonograph. And these are
but a very few examples of how disability has not prevented extraordinary
contributions from human beings.
CompAmerica has continued our founder's cause in support of Americans with a Disability,
by strongly moving for software and
hardware that supports those in Government Agencies and business to
facilitate access to the Disabled. Today, by law, all Government Agencies
and Departments are required to comply with law enacted by Congress and
signed into law by the President. Section 508 of the ADA is mandated
by law. Not only do we support Government body compliance, we also
fully support adoption of all general product usage
ergonomics, vision and hearing less prevention and protection, and Energy Star compliance,
in order to make Government Agencies and Businesses safer for workers and
more energy efficient. We are also working with Microsoft and other
software companies, and support Multi-Language/Multi-Currency/Multi-Cultural
Compliance for our International Customers and for those who come to our
repair centers with a competitor's product in need of repair or upgrade.
This does note mean, however, that we take responsibility for the
deficiencies in Section 508 support for any third party company or their
product.
Our commitment to
continuing vigilance in maintaining compliance with the requirements set
forth by the ADA; and by Section 508 equals and/or exceeds that of any other
organization in the USA. For those with curiosity about what this is
all aboutL this section of our website describes the many ways we strive to
make our products, services and website easier to access for those who have
been injured defending America (or elsewhere), and for those who have been
injured in their daily lives, including those who were born with almost any
disability. Below you will find our VOLUNTARY PRODUCT ACCESSIBILITY
TEMPLATE. It defines the many specific ways those with such challenges are
being assisted by our extra efforts on their behalf. We do carry
hundreds of thousands of products from other companies in our B2B Store.
Some of them are non-complying with Section 508 of the ADA, however, even
then, we have additional tools below that may be obtained to make it
possible for those facing significant difficulty in using them, may acquire
to render them more accessible.
