Complying with the WCAG principles will lead us toward more accessible Web contents, but users who use Web assistive technologies are still facing usability challenges. And learning how to improve the accessibility of your product can be an overwhelming task. In this session, we will discuss accessibility implementation tips we discovered through in-person in-depth evaluation sessions with no vision users. You will learn about screen reader users’ challenges as well as practical implementation techniques you can employ to make screen reader users’ interactions with common UI components easier and more effective. We’ll walk you through the steps we took that led us to create a list of Web accessibility guiding principles that are based on direct feedback from users with accessibility needs.
