# WAI-ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications)

> Global

WAI-ARIA is the W3C specification that makes dynamic, JavaScript-driven interfaces - menus, dialogs, tabs, live regions and custom widgets - understandable to assistive technology. Misused ARIA is a leading cause of broken screen-reader experiences, so we audit and fix it against the ARIA Authoring Practices.

## Who needs to comply

Teams building single-page apps, design systems and complex interactive components.

## Key requirements

- **Roles, states & properties** - Correct semantics for custom widgets so AT announces them accurately.
- **APG-aligned patterns** - Keyboard and focus behaviour built to the ARIA Authoring Practices Guide.
- **'No ARIA beats bad ARIA'** - We remove misused attributes and prefer native HTML where it is stronger.
