Out of the box, the Kendo UI for jQuery ProgressBar provides extensive accessibility support and enables users with disabilities to acquire complete control over its features.


The ProgressBar is compliant with the [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/) standards and [Section 508](https://www.section508.gov/) requirements, follows the [Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/) best practices for implementing the [keyboard navigation](#keyboard-navigation) for its `component` role, provides options for managing its focus and is tested against the most popular screen readers.

| Selector | Attribute | Usage |
| -------- | --------- | ----- |
| `.k-progressbar` | `role=progressbar` | Sets the proper role for ProgressBar. |
|  | `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby` | The Progressbar needs an accessible name to be assigned to it. |
|  | `aria-valuenow` | Only present and required if the value is not indeterminate. Set to a decimal value between 0, or aria-valuemin if present, and aria-valuemax indicating the current value of the progress bar. |
