Is it possible to build javascript accordions or "hide and display" panels that are accessible to screen reading software?I am testing a website with JAWS screen reading software and was not able to expand the accordion menus on a page. Our team would like to leave them in place if we can find a way to make them accessible.

Is it possible to set up accordion menus that are accessible to screen readers?

How do we do it?

Thanks
