Introduction
The Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance maintains its Web site to allow general accessibility using standards set forth by the Office for Technology (OFT). Pages on this site are reviewed and revised to be accessible to individuals with disabilities in accordance with provisions of Section 508 of the Workforce Investment Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. This includes making its Web sites compliant with Conformance Level "Priority 1" of the World Wide Web Consortium accessibility rating.
Use of Graphic Imagery on This Web Site
Images on the site contain 'alt tags' with descriptions of the image that aid users who listen to the content of the site by using a screen reader rather than reading the site.
Format of Documents on This Web Site
Documents and other special publications that are made available on the OTDA Web site are generally available in HTML. However, we strive to provide documents in multiple formats for accessibility. In many cases, we publish documents using Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). If the Adobe Acrobat format interferes with your ability to access any of the information listed on this site, please e-mail the OTDA Public Information Officer at nyspio@otda.state.ny.us.
Use of Assistive Technology to View This Web Site
Reasonable efforts will be made to accommodate all users who utilize standards compliant Web browsers as well as enabling software or assistive devices. We welcome comments on how to improve the site’s accessibility for users with disabilities.
