Accessibility settings/preferences are intended to help users with visual or motor impairments access Adapt courses.

Landmarks help assistive technology users orient themselves to a page and help them navigate easily to various sections. Landmarks are attributes you can add to elements in your page to define areas like the main content or a navigation region.

We can define parts of a page using 'roles'. This allows screen reader users the ability to easily jump from one section to another and know where they are going.

Roles provide semantic information therefore these attributes should not be placed on elements that already have semantic meaning. They should only be placed on <div> and <span> elements.

<div class="menu-container" role="menu">
<div class='menu-container-inner'>
	{{#if title}}
	<div class="menu-title">
		<h1 class="menu-title-inner">
			{{{title}}}
		</h1>
	</div>
	{{/if}}
	{{#if body}}
	<div class="menu-body">
		<div class="menu-body-inner">
			{{{body}}}
		</div>
	</div>
	{{/if}}
</div>
</div>

The aria-label attribute is a description that is never displayed on screen but is relayed to a screen reader user. It defines a string that labels the current element.

This attribute can be used with any typical HTML element; it is not limited to elements that have an ARIA role assigned. Use it in cases where a text label is not visible on the screen.

<div class="navigation-inner" role="navigation">
    <a href="#" class="navigation-back-button" aria-label="Back button"></a>
    <a href="#" class="navigation-drawer-toggle-button" aria-label="Drawer"></a>
</div>
