Searching Google for “accessibility statement” brings up a lot of .gov sites, which makes sense, since federal government sites are the ones affected by Section 508. Most of these statements are the same (we comply with Section 508, or we’re at least working on it), but there are some good examples of accessibility statements out there:

  1. National Center for Accessible Media, home of the multimedia tool MAGPie.
  2. dyslexic.com, about designing for learning disabilities.
  3. Kansas State University has a whole section on accessibility, with lots of good links.

Then there’s the accessibility statement of the City of Des Moines, which says This site is best viewed with Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater, Netscape 6.0 or greater or Opera 6.0. Not… quite… grasping the concept…
