ADA does not have accessibility requirements similar to Section 508 or WCAG.
It is the Rehabilitation Act which includes Section 508.
You can find the standards at:
http://www.section508.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=Content&ID=12
>From your e-mail I assume you are familiar with WCAG.
For a comparison of WCAG and Section 508, see Jim Thatcher's page, it is an
excellent resource:

Hope this helps.

Subject: [WebAIM] seeking info: ADA vs wcag 1.0/2.0
Hi,
Can anyone point me to the latest ADA documents stating web accessibility
guidelines/ checkpoints?
I want to know
1. Is ADA document finer than wcag1.0 document?
2. Is section 508 is a more comprehensive list of accessibility guidelines
than those in ADA?
3. What is the relation between ADA and section 508?
Thanks.
