Out of the box, the Kendo React PropertyGrid provides extensive accessibility support and enables users with disabilities to acquire complete control over its features.
The PropertyGrid 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.
## WAI-ARIA
This section lists the selectors, attributes, and behavior patterns supported by the component and its composite elements, if any.
The PropertyGrid is a composite component that consists of two logically separated structural elements:
- Toolbar (`role=toolbar`);
- Tree Grid (`role=treegrid`);
### PropertyGrid Toolbar
The Toolbar of the PropertyGrid follows the specification of the ToolBar component.
[ToolBar accessibility specification]({{toolbar_a11y_link}})
| Selector | Attribute | Usage |
| -------- | --------- | ----- |
| `.k-grid-toolbar` | `role=toolbar` | The toolbar is a collection of command buttons and inputs. |
| | `aria-label` | Clarifies the purpose of the toolbar. |
| | `aria-controls=.k-grid-aria-root id` | Points to the id of the element with `role=treegrid`. |
### Tree Grid
The element with `role=treegrid` must not include the ToolBar element as it does not belong to the `role=treegrid` element itself. It implements the ARIA specification for the TreeList component with some exceptions listed below.
[TreeList accessibility specification]({{treelist_a11y_link}})
The below table lists the ARIA requirements for the PropertyGrid which are not present in the TreeList specification:
| Selector | Attribute | Usage |
| -------- | --------- | ----- |
| `.k-property-grid .k-grid-aria-root` | `role=treegrid` | Sets the proper role for the PropertyGrid component. |
