WAI-ARIA

WAI-ARIA (Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications) is a technical specification published by the World Wide Web Consortium that specifies how to increase the accessibility of web pages, in particular, dynamic content and user interface components developed with Ajax, HTML, JavaScript and related technologies. As of January 2011, it was a Candidate Recommendation. WAI-ARIA describes how to add semantics and other metadata to HTML content in order to make user interface controls and dynamic content more accessible. For example, with WAI-ARIA it is possible to identify a list of links as a navigation menu and to state whether it is expanded or collapsed. Although originally developed to address accessibility issues in HTML, the use of WAI-ARIA is not limited to HTML: in principle, it can also be used in other markup languages such as Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). SVG 1.2 Tiny added support for WAI-ARIA in the 15 September 2008 working draft.

ARIA Widgets and Focus/Forms Mode Support in JAWS and NVDA | Articles | Accessible Culture
Focus or forms mode initially enabled screen reader users to interact with typical form controls such as text inputs and select dropdowns. With today\'s fancier custom widgets, it\'s not always the case that natively interactive HTML elements will be used
