    A STARTING-POINT EXAMPLE

    Hypothetical standard operating procedure

    Adapt this example to your site, access, tools, and change process. It is our suggested procedure, informed by the sources below.

    1. Select popular screen readers across platforms (NVDA, VoiceOver, JAWS).
    2. Navigate website content, forms, and navigation using each screen reader.
    3. Document and address any reading order, labeling, or navigation issues.
    4. Repeat testing after fixes to confirm improvements.

    Watch for

    Relying only on automated tools or one screen reader misses important barriers.

    Definition of done

    Site functions properly and content is understandable across tested screen readers (e.g., NVDA, VoiceOver).
