Thanks Bryan,

Is the Visual ARIA tool also accessible to screen reader users?

Best,
David

Hi,
For sighted developers, I strongly recommend everybody use Visual ARIA,
which is designed to help teach the use of ARIA to people of all experience
levels during standard usage, education, development, and testing with hands
on experience.
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/visual-aria-now-allows-anyone-sight-see-how-works-from-garaventa/

This is also downloadable at
https://github.com/accdc/visual-aria

Included within the download is an ARIA 101 roadmap document for learning
ARIA as comprehensively as possible starting with no experience in ARIA.

Best wishes,
Bryan

Happy new year all!

I'm curious what you consider the most important ARIA to learn. Also, do
you have reccomendations for novices to ARIA to learn effective techniques
with those most important elements of ARIA?

Personally, I am a novice with ARIA, but I enjoy its benefits everyday as a
screen reader user. I use multiple screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, Voiceover)
and would like to be able to teach my community of web developers how to
best use ARIA.

Where would you suggest I go to learn how to explain ARIA to developers who
don't benefit from it everyday? Not all of the developers in my community
experience the benefits and I want to be able to explain why it is important
to implement it into their web page designs.

Thanks so much,
David
