Sara pointed out that CSS impacts accessibility by more than just changing the look of elements; it also affects the user interface's accessibility tree, which outlines roles, names, descriptions, and states of elements, ensuring users understand what actions they can take.
During her talk, Sara highlighted how the cascading effects of CSS on the accessibility tree are often overlooked, emphasizing that designers must consider how CSS alters not just visuals but the semantics of the elements being styled.
One of the key insights shared by Sara was the importance of understanding the relationship between CSS and the accessibility tree, noting that attributes like role, name, and state are crucial for delivering a comprehensive user experience.
In discussing practical applications, Sara encouraged developers to be mindful that every style applied can influence accessibility. This is important for creating inclusive designs that are usable for all members of the audience.
