Hello,
I would appreciate some feedback about this new page that is in development: http://sbctc.edu/college/_i-FMS-processingNEW.aspx#monthly

In the table under Monthly and Quarterly FMS Processes you will see the presentation of documents with the same name that are presented each month. I am concerned about whether this method of presentation satisfies Success Criterion 2.4.4. If a screen reader was reading a links list, it would fail, but taken in the context of the table, the user would perceive what month it's for by the value in the first column Month/Year.

I'm afraid if I add the month/year onto the link label it will add a lot of visual clutter and may just make aural clutter for the screen reader user.

However, if it is better for me to add the month/year to the link label, would it be better at the front of the label or at the end?

Thank you for opinions.
