Accessibility Compliance

Master accessibility implementation to create inclusive experiences that work for everyone, including users with disabilities.

When to Use This Skill

• Implementing WCAG 2.2 Level AA or AAA compliance
• Building screen reader accessible interfaces
• Adding keyboard navigation to interactive components
• Implementing focus management and focus trapping
• Creating accessible forms with proper labeling
• Supporting reduced motion and high contrast preferences
• Building mobile accessibility features (iOS VoiceOver, Android TalkBack)
• Conducting accessibility audits and fixing violations

Detailed patterns and worked examples

Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.

Best Practices

1. Use Semantic HTML: Prefer native elements over ARIA when possible
2. Test with Real Users: Include people with disabilities in user testing
3. Keyboard First: Design interactions to work without a mouse
4. Don't Disable Focus Styles: Style them, don't remove them
5. Provide Text Alternatives: All non-text content needs descriptions
6. Support Zoom: Content should work at 200% zoom
7. Announce Changes: Use live regions for dynamic content
8. Respect Preferences: Honor prefers-reduced-motion and prefers-contrast

Common Issues

• Missing alt text: Images without descriptions
• Poor color contrast: Text hard to read against background
• Keyboard traps: Focus stuck in component
• Missing labels: Form inputs without associated labels
• Auto-playing media: Content that plays without user initiation
• Inaccessible custom controls: Recreating native functionality poorly
• Missing skip links: No way to bypass repetitive content
• Focus order issues: Tab order doesn't match visual order

Testing Tools

• Automated: axe DevTools, WAVE, Lighthouse
• Manual: VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), NVDA/JAWS (Windows), TalkBack (Android)
• Simulators: NoCoffee (vision), Silktide (various disabilities)
