Users with disabilities frequently rely on hardware and software to access web content. These tools, known as assistive technologies, range from screen readers to touch screens to Braille Displays and head pointers.In this workshop, we will be mainly focussing on Screen Readers as Assistive Technology.Blind users of the web frequently use software called a screen reader to read the contents of a web page out loud. Screen readers enable users to hear, rather than read, the contents of a web page. Two common screen readers are JAWS from Freedom Scientific and NVDA from NV Access. We will be demonstrating both in this session.

In this workshop we will be talking only about Web Content Accessibility.Web "content" generally refers to the information in a web page or web application, including:Natural information such as text, images, and soundsCode or markup that defines structure, presentation, etc.Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web. More specifically, Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web, and that they can contribute to the Web. Web accessibility also benefits others, including older people with changing abilities due to aging.
Authors need to associate elements in the document to a WAI-ARIA role and the appropriate states and properties (aria-* attributes) during its life-cycle.The terms "states" and "properties" refer to similar features. Both provide specific information about an object, and both form part of the definition of the nature of roles. States and properties are both treated as aria-prefixed markupattributes. However, they are maintained conceptually distinct to clarify subtle differences in their meaning. One major difference is that the values of properties (such as aria-labelledby) are often less likely to change throughout the application life-cycle than the values of states (such as aria-checked) which may change frequently due to user interaction. Because the distinction between states and properties is of little consequence to most web content authors, we refer to both "states" and "properties" simply as "attributes" whenever possible.
