Hi,

I hadn't seen this topic come up here yet - SSB BART Group has just
published the first in a series on infinite scrolling and
accessibility http://www.ssbbartgroup.com/blog/infinite-scrolling-impact-on-assistive-technologies-series-1.

Curious how folks are addressing making infinite scrolling accessible
and usable.

Thanks for sharing, Jennison! I have passed it on.

I am also interested in learning about working examples and techniques.


Best,

Here are two other links on Infinite Scrolling:

This article, that SSB also cites, but in case you miss it in the
references section of that article:

The SSB article is pretty good at laying out some of the issues, but I see this newish and common design paradigm as a primary fail it for 2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide - as this kind of content yes absolutely is a problem for AT users (for all of the identified reasons; focus, navigation, location context, accessing footers) - but also majorly for the distractibility barrier it places on users with cognitive disabilities. Easy findable controls should be provided to allow users to stop, pause, hide or control the scrolling - or offer a non-scrolling option on the page - if it lasts more than 5 seconds.

Thoughts? I can't believe infinite or parallax scrolling has not been discussed here.............

And here's one more article, which goes a bit beyond infinite scroll;
I post it here because it has a number of references that some may
find of interest:
