Voluntary Product Accessibility Template

KaligApp Section 508 compliance statement.

Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, requires that electronic and information technology used by U.S. Federal agencies be accessible to people with disabilities.

KaligApp is covered under section 1194.21 (Software Applications and Operating Systems). The application is built for iPadOS, and most of its features are accessible through the common assistive technologies provided by the host operating system — VoiceOver, Switch Control, Full Keyboard Access, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion.

For more information, contact KALIG APP GLOBAL at hi@kaligapp.com.

Preliminary statement. KaligApp is currently in development. This VPAT is a preliminary self-assessment against Section 508 and will be reviewed and finalised before public release.
