Accessibility Resources
- Section 508 Accessibility Standards
- Adobe Accessibility Playground
- Adobe Color Contrast Analyzer
- WebAIM Contrast Checker
- WCAG Guidelines
- ADA Web Accessibility Guidance
Automation can help find problems. It does not replace judgment. Always verify tags, reading order, contrast, and interaction states manually.
