[wp-edu] Ensuring WordPress sites meet accessibility standards?

[Grogan, David]

Hello all,

Recent mandates and guidelines at our school have us taking a close look at how we can ensure sites created on our multi-site instance are meeting digital accessibility standards (keyboard access to all features of a site, accessible by screen readers etc.). Since we run our system as a self-service platform it’s going to be difficult to have all sites 100% accessible but we are looking at ways to mitigate issues.

I’d be interested to know how others are approaching this issue.

I’m going to assessing these three plugins:


https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-accessibility/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-accessibility-helper/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/userway-accessibility-widget/
Are there others people can recommend?
Are there certain themes that are more accessible than others that you have tried?

Any thoughts/experiences/ideas you have would be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes,

David
