508 Compliant Dials and Sliders

Hi, Ghislaine.

Thank you for clarifying!

Since the slider is on the base layer, and by using the keyboard to navigate, you are focusing on that base layer, the screen reader is not verbalizing the content on each of the other layers. 

A workaround would be to adjust the layer properties of each of your seven layers by checking the following options:

• Hide other slide layers
• Hide objects on base layers
• Prevent the user from clicking on the base layer

Then you can add a button to hide the layer and allow the user to continue to move the slider.

While this works, I would suggest using a different type of interaction that will better suit an accessible course and be screen-reader friendly if your design allows it.
