Hi,

I'd be eager to hear from anyone who is currently working on
implementing ember accessibly.

I imagine it has the same Accessibility problems of other Single Page Applications made in another JavaScript framework like AngularJS or ReactJS. I've had the most experience with Angular.

Common issues/failures are:

custom UI controls/form controls not keyboard operable or usable with screen reader
same page title for all screens
form validation not accessible
focus management missing or incorrect which also breaks reading order, e.g. dialogs, tooltips, expanding/collapsing widgets
inaccessible graphs, charts, often dynamic, no keyboard or screen reader support

That's the main things, if your buttons and form controls don't work with the keyboard or screen reader because they're custom controls made out of DIVs then that's always the biggest issue.

Focus management, form validation, custom expanding collapsing widgets are the next major problems.

Good luck Jennison! :)

Maybe these three links will help, and maybe
people can contribute to these efforts, based on increased visibility here:

Here's a very timely article which may help with Ember, as well as
other similar frameworks:
