Those responsible for websites and electronic portals can apply for the Seal to SPMED, which, together with the Permanent Accessibility Commission, will assess the accessibility of the pages submitted, according to criteria and procedures established in the SMPED-GAB Ordinance nº 08/2018.
 
Applicants whose evaluated websites comply with these criteria will be awarded with the Digital Accessibility Seal.
 
 
ON THE SECRETARIAT OF THE PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES OF THE PMSP
 
Its mission is to promote the social transformation necessary for the inclusion of people with disabilities. Thus, it is incumbent upon it to conduct, execute and articulate governmental actions between the bodies and entities of the Municipality of São Paulo and the various sectors of society, aiming at the implementation of the municipal policy for people with disabilities.
 
SMPED also has the function of developing projects aimed at the implementation of public policies with the objective of improving the quality of life of people with disabilities - be it physical, intellectual, hearing, visual and multiple. It was created by Decree 45,811, of April 1, 2005. The great achievement is that, after the approval of Law 14,659, the Secretariat officially becomes an organ of the Direct Public Administration, and cannot be extinguished by decree.
