Good morning Listers,
I am not familiar with coding for AJAX. What do I need to tell folks who are using it?

They need JavaScript Accessibility training.
Heres a slideshow that could get them started in the right direction:

They didn't say. From this list I sent them
Modern Web Accessibility with JavaScript & WAI-ARIA http://pauljadam.com/moderna11y/
Since I am the assistant Section 508 coordinator I was asked what Section 508 concerns they should have.

Susie,
At HHS, when AJAX and such is used, we pull .21 in to evaluate it. This
question is really open and broad. For the most part, the AJAXy elements
need to be properly labeled, and reachable via the keyboard.

If you are using AJAX you need to ensure that it is accessible (using ARIA
to make all dynamic controls / content usable by both keyboard and assistive
technologies).
