Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA)

Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) is a set of technical standards that helps make web content and applications more accessible to people with disabilities. It provides additional information about website elements—such as buttons, menus, and sliders—allowing assistive technologies like screen readers to better interpret and communicate their purpose and state. This ensures that users with visual, auditory, or motor impairments can navigate and interact with web content effectively. WAI-ARIA is especially useful for dynamic and complex interfaces where standard HTML alone may not convey all necessary information for accessibility.
