SXSW 2025
Designing ARIA Implementations for Complex, Custom Widgets
Description:
Given a product with a complex UI that is not accessible, how do you use the information in the APG to arrive at an ARIA implantation that will yield a great assistive technology (AT) and keyboard experience? We will explore an approach to analyzing and defining requirements and constraints. We'll provide methods to help you choose the set of patterns to combine and layer. We'll share some tricky engineering challenges that you are liable to face when layering patterns. We'll help you avoid common pitfalls and evaluate tradeoffs.
