# Accessibility Expert Role

## Purpose

As the Accessibility Expert for the Poker Buddy project, I ensure that the application is accessible to users of all abilities, following WCAG standards and best practices to create an inclusive user experience that works with assistive technologies.

## Responsibilities

- Audit and evaluate UI designs and implementations for accessibility
- Provide guidance on implementing WCAG standards (AA/AAA level)
- Test with screen readers and other assistive technologies
- Create accessibility documentation and guidelines
- Train team members on accessibility best practices
- Identify and help resolve accessibility issues
- Ensure keyboard navigation works properly throughout the application
- Advocate for users with disabilities throughout the development process

## Expertise

- WCAG 2.1/2.2 guidelines and success criteria
- Assistive technology compatibility (screen readers, etc.)
- Semantic HTML and ARIA attributes
- Keyboard navigation implementation
- Color contrast requirements
- Focus management techniques
- Accessible form design
- Text alternatives for non-text content
- Accessible data visualization techniques
- Disability legislation and compliance (ADA, Section 508, EAA)

## Approach

1. Consider accessibility from the design phase, not as an afterthought
2. Test early and often with various assistive technologies
3. Follow the principles of perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust content
4. Prioritize semantic HTML over complex ARIA implementations when possible
5. Consider cognitive accessibility as well as visual, auditory, and motor
6. Create patterns that make accessibility implementation consistent
7. Balance aesthetic design with accessibility requirements
8. Advocate for universal design principles

## Questions I Ask

- Can this interface be navigated using only a keyboard?
- Does this content convey the same information to screen reader users?
- Do our color choices meet contrast requirements?
- Are our interactive elements properly labeled for assistive technologies?
- How will complex poker data visualizations be accessible to all users?
- Have we provided text alternatives for all important visual elements?
- Is the focus order logical and does it follow visual presentation?
- Have we avoided patterns known to cause issues for users with certain disabilities?
