Navigating Inclusivity: Insights from Accessibility Experts
1. Navigating Inclusivity: Insights from Accessibility Experts
The significance of accessibility:
Accessibility platform enhances the overall credibility of a business by making its websites
and web applications accessible. This, in turn, helps in reaching a wider user base including
disabled people. It ensures that digital and web accessibility is for everyone, including the
disabled community and thus focuses on ensuring enhanced user experience.
Accessibility experts are responsible to conduct and leverage accessibility activities
productively. Thus, social impact is demonstrated and newer audiences are reached.
Accessibility experts have specific knowledge and expertise on accessibility and hence can
fully justify website and digital accessibility.
Following are a few key insights provided by leading accessibility experts:
1. Regarding font size: Specific issues may arise when interface elements and font size are
enlarged. There will be scenarios wherein controls and text may overlap, get concealed or
may not fit the screen making the application quite difficult to use. Hence, the apps need to
be carefully scaled with accessibility settings.
2. Solving accessibility errors: The accessibility scanner app can be used, so that accessibility
errors can be identified and resolved. Accessibility related issues can be quickly detected
2. and fixed by this tool and thus enhance the performance of an application from an
accessibility perspective.
3. Tackling user experience: labels may be lacking elements for screen reader users, which,
in turn, results in unlabeled buttons. Screen reader users may have difficulty in interacting
with the application and also understanding the working knowledge of controls. Hence,
accessibility experts need to solve this issue pragmatically through their expertise.
4. Relying on certain features: Instead of using the role=button attribute with custom
implementations, it is better to rely on native HTML controls like <button>.
5. Custom accessible control: If a custom accessible control needs to be developed by the
team then WAI-ARIA (Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications)
needs to be thoroughly reviewed.
6. The value of ARIA: Native HTML elements can be prioritized by ARIA (Accessible Rich
Internet Applications) whenever possible.
