Developing custom, cross-browser JavaScript widgets is more complex, and implementing WAI-ARIA in these is proportionally more complex.

"WAI-ARIA" is the abbreviation for the Accessible Rich Internet Applications documents. In order to avoid confusion, please use "WAI-ARIA" (instead of just "ARIA"), at least in titles, headings, and on first reference in documentation.

WAI-ARIA is already supported in several browsers and assistive technologies (even though it is not finalized yet). Once WAI-ARIA is stable, WAI will collect and publish a list of WAI-ARIA implementations, that is, what supports WAI-ARIA. Some information on WAI-ARIA support is already available on other Web sites.

H810 accessibility html dom content Guidelines

- Kev Harland on 10 Nov 13
  
  Alternatives MUST NOT include information about the type of object (Editorial & Development) When using standard controls for links, buttons, images etc. information about its type is assigned elsewhere and should not be repeated in the alternative. This information is generally provided by default for platform objects, controls, or elements and will be announced by speech output software. For example never use the text 'Add button' as an alternative, only 'Add'. Adding additional roles means the role is announced twice to users of speech output software. An exception to this may be when a role or state cannot be added in such as way. For example, in the case of an HTML page tabs that gracefully degrade it may be useful to add the word "Selected" to the link.

shared by Kev Harland on 10 Nov 13 - No Cached

Why Can't Microsoft Build a Screen Reader into Windows? As Windows screen reader users will know, there is no screen reader included in Windows. Instead, users requiring a screen reader must obtain and install a third party product. Yes, there is Microsoft Narrator, but even Microsoft know that this is hardly worthy of the name "screen reader". :)

I come across articles and recommendations that tend to confuse usability with accessibility. The objective of this post is to establish the link between the two terms while outlining their differences. In order to do so, it is important to first understand what is web site usability and web site accessibility.

Although accessibility is related to the issues of usability and coding standards, it is possible for a site to be considered usable and standards compliant but NOT accessible (and vice-versa). Below are some definitions, and situations where distinctions may arise.

Deliver the PowerPoint as a finished product. In other words, display the presentation embedded in a web browser window. Avoid forcing students to download the presentation onto their computer if at all possible. Downloading presents all kinds of problems - for example, what happens with embedded audio and video files.

Using Blackboard Collaborate to deliver online sessions with your students can help to bring together students at a distance whilst still enabling them to receive teaching materials and interact with each other. However, there are a few things that disabled students might find particularly challenging about accessing this type of learning opportunity.

If an image is merely used to set atmosphere or provide decoration, it is not always necessary or even desirable to provide a description. In such cases it is best to give that image a null description, such as null alt, as demonstrated below. (A null description informs assistive technologies that the graphic does not need description. If no description [e.g., no alt] at all is included, assistive technologies may announce an unlabeled graphic, leading the user to wonder what is missing.)

Reading this article in the Guardian got me thinking that Seale is missing an important factor for change that lies outside her suggested theories and frameworks; the increasing pace of technological advancement. There will positive (and many negative) consequences but we will likely be having very different debates about accessibility in 5 years time.
