10 guidance statements support this accessibility characteristic:
- Assistive technology-compatible - For systems with user interfaces, people may need content and operable elements to be accessed and presented through assistive technology.
- Consistent layout - For systems that present content, people may need consistent layouts and hierarchies using familiar conventions.
- Focus indicators - People may need visible and programmatic focus indicators with high contrast/luminosity against adjacent colors that are not visually obscured by other content.
- Large scale layout - For systems with large scale display modes, people may need the visual relationship aspects of the layout to be preserved, and content not to be clipped.
- Meaningful focus order - For systems with interactive components, people may need those components to be available in a meaningful sequence that facilitates operation.
- Meaningful organization - For systems that present content, people may need the content organized into logical, cohesive sections both sensorily and programmatically.
- Meaningful sequence - For systems that present content, people may need the content to be available in a meaningful sequence both sensorily and programmatically.
- Output modality choice - As a user with limited or no vision or with limited or no hearing, I need to be able to choose modalities to be used for outputs from the system.
- Programmatic structure and relationships - For systems that present content, people may need structure and relationships (title, labels, section headings) presented sensorily and programmatically.
- Separate output control - For systems with assistive technology built into the platform or that work with assistive technology, people may need to be able to control output of assistive technology separate from output of content.
