Empowering Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) with Accessibility
summary
Demo shows ARIA attributes making real differences: forms announce errors and focus moves to fields, aria-required marks mandatory inputs, live chat updates read via aria-live polite, and tab panels register as tabs not links. Rails app examples use JAWS VoiceOver ORCA and the screen reader JOSH and target a reusable gem called waiable for Rails 5. Team builds brailles.org with collaborators and reports 90% blind developers, 1500 beneficiaries and a 15% disability prevalence figure that motivates these fixes.
