SurveyMonkey is not Section 508 compliant. I found this out when I realized that we were required as a government entity to utilize Section 508 compliant products when possible. I wrote SurveyMonkey and they confirmed this. The only product I know of that claims to be currently Section 508 compliant is SurveyGizmo. There are most likely others, but I have not come across them in my research and stopped after I found SurveyGizmo as it has the feature set that we needed and claimed to be compliant. It is not clear to me who really establishes whether something is or is not compliant, but just somethign to be aware of as you conduct your surveys.
