Slide1-7 About This Session

Ontario, and other jurisdictions, have legislation that require business and schools to implement a digital accessibility standard that promotes greater societal inclusion. As an Accessibility Specialist I support small business owners and entrepeneurs in understanding the digital communication requirements to reach larger markets.
In this session you will learn how to build accessible UI components with ARIA. For assistant technologies, ARIA influences the audible rendering of the non-visual experience, just like CSS influences the visual presentation of a web page. However, HTML, CSS and JavaScript do not natively include all the features required to make websites accessible to folks who use screen readers or rely on keyboard navigation or other assistive technologies. So ARIA is a way to address those deficiencies.

This learning session is focused on creating accessible and usable website interfaces.

• About assistive technology tools.
• Website accessibility coding techniques.
• Creating web page interfaces that can be accessed with the keyboard.
• Coding ARIA States, Roles and Properties.
• Understand how screen readers interact with web page elements.
• Achieving W3C-WCAG conformance.
