## Overview

Implement comprehensive accessibility features following WCAG guidelines to ensure your application is usable by everyone, including people with disabilities.

## When to Use

- Building public-facing web applications
- Ensuring WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA or AAA compliance
- Supporting screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
- Implementing keyboard-only navigation
- Meeting ADA, Section 508, or similar regulations
- Improving SEO and overall user experience
- Conducting accessibility audits

## Quick Start

Minimal working example:

```html
<!-- Bad: Non-semantic markup -->
<div class="button" onclick="submit()">Submit</div>

<!-- Good: Semantic HTML -->
<button type="submit" aria-label="Submit form">Submit</button>

<!-- Custom components with proper ARIA -->
<div
  role="button"
  tabindex="0"
  aria-pressed="false"
  onclick="toggle()"
  onkeydown="handleKeyPress(event)"
>
  Toggle Feature
</div>

<!-- Form with proper labels and error handling -->
<form>
  <label for="email">Email Address</label>
  <input
    id="email"
    type="email"
    name="email"
    aria-required="true"
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)
```

### ❌ DON'T

- Rely solely on color to convey information

- Auto-play media without controls
- Create keyboard traps
- Use positive tabindex values
- Override user preferences
- Hide content only visually that should be hidden from screen readers
