Screen Reader Testing
You know how accessibility testing often stops at automated tools and basic keyboard navigation? This skill gets you actually testing with real screen readers like NVDA, VoiceOver, and JAWS. It covers the specific keyboard shortcuts for each one, walks you through systematic testing checklists for forms and dynamic content, and shows you how to catch issues that automated tools miss entirely. The skill includes actual command references and testing scripts, so you can validate ARIA implementations and debug why your live regions aren't announcing properly. Essential if you're serious about accessibility beyond just passing WCAG validators.
