I have a web site that is using react and despite that <header> and <footer>
were added, they are not being announced by JAWS in IE or Firefox. I tried
to add through Firebug

<header aria-label="Banner">

</header>

And JAWS was still not stating Banner.



Any idea how can I explain to developers to be able to programmatically
label their regions? I am really stumped.

Have you read this documentation?
https://reactjs.org/docs/accessibility.html
Hope this may be of some help.
Thanks,
