Here are my strategies: Integrate Accessibility Early: I incorporate WCAG guidelines from the beginning to embed accessibility into the project's foundation. Conduct Manual Testing: I test with screen readers and keyboard-only navigation to simulate the experience of users relying on assistive technologies. Engage Users with Disabilities: I involve individuals with disabilities in the testing process to gather authentic feedback. Maintain an Accessibility Checklist: I verify elements like color contrast, alt text, and ARIA labels to ensure compliance. Collaborate with the Team: I work closely with developers and designers to address accessibility concerns promptly.

I would start by reviewing the WCAG reqmts to get a clear understanding of what we need to meet. Collaboration between design and dev teams from the start, making sure we are aligned on incorporating accessibility throughout the process, testing with screen readers, navigating the app with just a keyboard, and using color contrast tools to ensure the app works for everyone, including those with disabilities are some other ways to ensure the application is compliant to the guidelines What’s ideal is involving real users in usability testing. Ultimately, the goal is to deliver an app that’s not just functional, but truly accessible and user-friendly for everyone.

Accessibility is paramount in web application development to ensure that all users, regardless of their abilities, can effectively interact with and benefit from the digital experience: 1. Adhere to WCAG 2.1: Follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines to ensure your application meets accessibility standards 2. Use automated testing tools: Employ tools like WAVE or Axe to identify and address accessibility issues early in development 3. Conduct manual testing: Test the application with assistive technologies and involve users with special abilities to get feedback 4. Provide alternative text and audio descriptions: Offer alternative text for images and audio descriptions for videos to make content accessible to all users

We design for accessibility just as we design for the UI of an application. Using accessibility testing tools and plug-ins during the design process can help us identify common accessibility issues. An example tool in Figma is Stark. Develop test cases focusing on accessibility that cover a range of aspects such as keyboard navigation, color contrast, form input, screen reader compatibility, etc. During testing, create clear documentation tracking the accessibility issues discovered, including level of severity and recommendations for fixing issues. Conduct manual testing and insure that testing is being conducted over different browsers and devices. This involves using screen readers, keyboard only navigation and other tools.
