(unless right of private action is easier under 508 than 504 which may be true).
Private actions alleging violation of the standards are handled under the Section 504 process.

That is usually covered under 504 - but if 504 didn't exist I think that 508 law (not necessarily the 508 standards) says that the computing environment should be made accessible and if AT was needed to do that..... But 504 does exist so no need (unless right of private action is easier under 508 than 504 which may be true).
