Building modern web applications requires a commitment to digital inclusion, yet many developers struggle to understand how their code translates to assistive technologies. This course demystifies how screen readers interact with the browser, helping you bridge the gap between written code and an exceptional user experience. You will transition from guessing about accessibility to confidently verifying your application's usability. What you'll learn: Understand core accessibility terminology, including the differences between low vision, blindness, and other visual impairments; Learn when and how often to perform manual screen reader testing during the development lifecycle; Master the implementation of accessible React patterns, focusing on dynamic content updates and accessible routing; Practice using semantic HTML elements and ARIA attributes to provide proper context to assistive technologies; Configure and test your applications using popular screen readers across different operating systems. This text-only course begins with foundational web accessibility concepts and terminology before guiding you through practical testing workflows and React-specific implementation strategies. This course is designed for beginner to intermediate web developers and designers who want to build inclusive applications, with no prior accessibility testing experience required. Start building web experiences that work beautifully for everyone.
