ARIA Roles and Attributes: How to Actually Use Them

As developers, it’s our job to build apps that our users can actually use — and that includes users with disabilities. Whether that disability is auditory, visual, cognitive, or motor-driven — we have to account for it. Several users require the use of a screen reader to interact with the web, and building your HTML with ARIA roles and properties can really help the user navigate a web page while using a screen reader. If you’re interested, I recently released a blog post going over what ARIA roles and properties are and how you can actually use them — so you can start building accessible sites too!
