Bullet points animating in and Section 508 accessibility

Hello!

I have some slides where I'd  like the bullet points to animate in as they are narrated. But I'm having issues with JAWS reading each bullet point as a separate list and saying "end of list" at the end of each bullet. 

Am I going to be forced to forego animated bullets so it reads correctly? Anyone have a solution? 

Thanks.

    Hi preeli! You can absolutely use animated bullet points. If JAWS is announcing each one as a separate list, it might be because you're navigating before the animation finishes. Try letting the animation play out completely before moving through the content.

    Also, how are you navigating the slide? JAWS users usually get the best results with the arrow keys instead of TAB when reading lists. Let me know what you're seeing. I'm happy to dig in further!
