DrupalCon Sydney 2013: Creating dynamic and accessible content in Drupal 7 using WAI-ARIA

This talk introduces WAI-ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications), a W3C specification designed to enhance the accessibility of dynamic web content created with HTML and scripting languages. The speaker discusses how WAI-ARIA extends HTML by offering additional attributes that define the roles, states, and properties of custom widgets, ensuring they are recognized by assistive technologies like screen readers. The session also delves into the inclusion and implementation of WAI-ARIA attributes within Drupal 7, providing practical examples that demonstrate the benefits of accessibility for users with disabilities.
