Fluid Surveys states that they are fully 2.0 compliant http://blog.fluidsurveys.com/2009/04/17/fluidsurveys-clf20-compliant-survey-software/

The flowing information has not been verified by me for being 2.0 compliant, but should help you get moving in the right direction. Some of it is dated, but I verified all of the companies still are out there.

* Advanced Survey Software. Says its product is fully 508-compliant and one of its biggest customers is National Industries for the Blind.
* Finalsite Survey. Specializes in tools for the education community. They offer a plug-in for their survey product that they claim can "easily" make surveys Section 508 compliant.
* Hosted Survey. Says all its applications are Section 508 compliant.
* Inquisite, produced by Advanced Survey Software. Not only did they answer my question regarding Section 508 compliance, they sent me the documentation of their accessibility testing! BART is listed as one of their major clients.
* Perseus Survey Solutions. Two of their product levels, Survey Solutions Pro and Survey Solutions EFM, generate fully-compliant HTML.
* Qstation. Although the tool itself isn't 508-compliant, the company notes that it can be customized to generate 508-compliant surveys.
* smartASK Web Survey Software. Not really what its name implies. Although this tool can enable you to create and deploy surveys online, it's not a DIY survey generation tool and requires a database backend and sophisticated install. They are rather ahead of the curve, because even their web site proudly states that the product is fully Section 508 compliant ... but it's also $5,000!
* Vanguard Vista online survey software and hosting. Their salesperson says they are "Section 508 compliant in all respects," and was good enough to warn me that "getting fancy" with my questionaire by adding javascript or additional pages of HTML text, could make it unreadable by assistive technologies. (This means their staff actually knows what Section 508-compliance is from a technical standpoint, not just a marketing one.)
* WebSurveyor. These are "do-it-yourself" online surveys, and their Web site states up-front that they are Section 508 compliant.

Only A Survey (http://www.onlyasurvey.com) is fully CLF 2 and 508 compliant and its survey builder is W3C-WCAG priority 1 and 2 compliant and is fully accessible to the disabled.

Most other tools I have seen might have some what accessible surveys but their survey builders can not be used by disabled people as they are not accessible and W3C-WCAG priority 1 and 2 compliant. And would not pass Government of Canada regulations for software to be used by disabled employees.
