Video Course
A clear, comprehensive and actionable accessibility curriculum for frontend designers & developers
40+ lessons, 15hr+ of video content with text adaptations, and one structured curriculum designed to help you truly understand accessibility and to equip you with the knowledge & skills you need to build more accessible UIs, test and find accessibility issues in existing projects, and critically evaluate code for accessibility—even when AI is doing much of the coding.
Course instructor Sara Soueidan briefly introduces the course.
Accessibility can be straight-up difficult and intimidating. How do you get started? Where do you start? How do you know if what you’ve built is accessible? How do you find and fix accessibility issues when they come up?
There are several W3C standards and documents, and several versions of these documents. There is a lot of accessibility information scattered among blogs, Github repositories, books, and even social media posts. And there is even some conflicting and contradicting information here and there. You read an article from here and there, pick up a technique or two, but you always seem to be missing something. You feel like you need direction.
You’re not alone — I’ve been there too. I know how frustrating it can be to sift through scattered articles, outdated docs, and contradictory advice. I know how easy it is to make well-intentioned mistakes.
But here’s the thing: accessibility isn’t always as hard as it seems, especially if you know where and when to start.
And this is why I created Practical Accessibility: the course I wish I had when I started.
It’s your trusted companion and roadmap, guiding you step-by-step through the fundamentals and practical techniques you need to create accessible websites with confidence and clarity.
In this course, you will find answers to questions like:
What is the thought process for building accessible components from scratch?
Do I need JavaScript to make this accessible?
Why is semantic HTML so important? And how do I know which HTML element to choose?
What is the accessibility tree? and what does it tell me about the - accessibility of my components?
What is ARIA? and when do I reach for ARIA versus native HTML?
How do I navigate the different ARIA and WCAG documents?
How does CSS affect accessibility?
Why are accessible names such a big deal? And which technique should I prioritize when providing names to my components?
What are the best practices for creating and validating forms? And why is native HTML5 form validation not enough?
How do I announce content updates to my users?
Can I trust the output AI has generated for my UI? How can I evaluate the output I’m given?
How do I know if what I’m building is accessible?
If you’re a:
UI engineer or front-end developer
Designer who codes (or who works with developers)
JavaScript or back-end developer ready to upskill in accessibility
…and you want to stop guessing and start building with confidence, then this course was made for you.
Since its launch, Practical Accessibility has been trusted by designers and engineers at some of the biggest companies, state governments, and educational institutions in the world, such as:

This is "the missing manual" to accessibility. You are answering all my questions on accessibility that no website or book was ever able to answer before. Your course is so incredibly well done, it's worth every penny ten times. My colleagues by the way share the same impressions.
This - to me - is the by far best material about accessiblity that does exist. What you created there is really outstanding and not comparable to anything else on accessibility. I absolutely recommend it to everyone interested in accessibility on the web.
Roman Seidelsohn
Senior frontend developer at Springer Nature Digital in Berlin, Germany.
I wanted to let you know that the clarity and depth of what you are sharing are impressive and I am learning so very much. There is so very much more to accessibility than I ever could have imagined and you have made it, well, so very accessible.
Thank you for this excellent body of work. [..] I have some work to do. With the knowledge that I'm gaining from your course, I'm feeling more confident that I can get it done.

The Curriculum
Clear. Comprehensive. Actionable.
Every lesson in Practical Accessibility is designed to be clear, focused, and immediately actionable — no filler, no fluff. You’ll build a deep understanding of what accessibility means, why it matters; and you will develop an understanding of how to implement it in your design and development work—whether you use AI or not.
You’ll walk away with a clear mental model of how to approach accessibility in your work, as well as techniques you can apply right away to make your projects more accessible.
The topics covered in the course will likely cover the majority of your day-to-day accessibility requirements.
By the end of the course, you will be armed with the knowledge, techniques, and resources to:
Quickly identify common accessibility issues when they come up.
Fix existing accessibility issues in your current project(s).
Implement more accessible user interfaces from scratch.
Go from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more confident in your skills and your ability to create websites and applications that work for people with disabilities.
Become an accessibility champion and make a positive impact on the Web and the world!
40+very in-depth lessons
15+hours of video content
The course curriculum contains two full-day workshops-worth of content that you can access anytime, anywhere. The curriculum covers:
Accessibility vs inclusivity vs usability and how people with disabilities access the web, and how this impacts how you design and develop your websites and applications.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Everything you need to know about WCAG and about using its informative supporting documents in your day-to-day work. You will learn about the Understanding WCAG documents, the Techniques for implementing WCAG, and the WCAG Quick Reference.
The accessibility tree and accessibility APIs (AAPIs). Your secret accessibility weapon. You’ll learn everything you need to know about using the accessibility tree information in the browser DevTools to find and debug common accessibility issues in your everyday work. You will also understand what accessibility API mappings are, and what they mean to how you write HTML.
Setting up your screen reader testing environment on your machine. We will discuss the most popular screen reader and browser combinations, and how to set up a testing environment on your machine.
Semantic HTML. In this section, you will learn about HTML in a way that’s most likely very different from what you’re used to learning elsewhere. And you will understand why “use semantic HTML and get accessibility for free” is a blanket statement. This section of the course covers semantic HTML accessibility, Accessibility API mappings, landmark regions, heading structure and hierarchy, and more.
Responsible ARIA. In this section of the course we’ll take a (very) deep dive into ARIA! You will understand what ARIA attributes are, what they do and don’t do, and why and when you will need them. You will learn what it takes to create your own custom ARIA widget using ARIA, and why using native HTML is almost always better than rolling your own custom implementation.
You will learn about the rules of ARIA use in HTML. And you will understand what the ARIA Authoring Practices Guide is and, more importantly, what it isn’t so that you (or your agent, if you’re using AI) can get the most out of what it offers.
Building accessible disclosure widgets and accordions. These chapters are highly technical chapters that will teach you the requirements and thought process involved in creating accessible disclosure widgets—a building block for many other complex components, including accordions. Among other technical details, you will understand why using the HTML name attribute alone is not sufficient to make an accordion out of a series of <details> elements, as well as usability considerations to keep in mind for deciding whether or not a disclosure widget or accordion are suitable for your user interaction.
Hiiding content with HTML, CSS, and ARIA. This section covers the different approaches for hiding content using HTML, CSS, and using ARIA. You’ll understand the pros and cons of each approach so that you can make a more informed decision when you need to choose the appropriate method for the design pattern(s) you’re designing or building.
Accessible names and descriptions. In this section of the course you’ll go through several chapters that explain the different techniques you can use to provide accessible names to elements, what happens when you don’t provide one, and what happens when competing names are provided. You will learn about the accessible names and descriptions computation algorithm, and what it means to how you should provide accessible names to your components. You will also learn about concatenating accessible names using ARIA attributes to create more ‘D R Y’ interactive components. And we will also cover how to create interactive components that are usable by Speech Control users.
Building accessible drop-down and slide-out navigation. You will learn the requirements and recommended practices for building website navigation. We will discuss two different patterns for creating a usable drop-down website navigation. You will understand the difference between a navigation and a “menu”, why you shouldn’t use the ARIA menu role(s).
Page accessibility. Accessibility starts at page level. Users need to be able to identify pages, and assistive technology needs to identify what language to speak the page in. In two chapters, you’ll learn all about identifying the topic and language of a page and its content, and why doing so is important.
Accessible images. Everything you need to know about writing effective alt text for images.
Accessible forms. In this section consisting of three chapters, we will cover everything you need to know about grouping and labeling form fields, providing accessible instructional cues and descriptions to fields, methods for accessible form validation, and you will learn how to improve the usability of your form validation using keyboard focus management.
Accessible notifications using ARIA live regions. We’ll discuss the native accessible notification system provided by ARIA, and how to use it responsibly in your Single Page Applications (SPAs).
Keyboard accessibility. This section includes chapters on the importance and techniques for providing navigational aid for keyboard users using skip links (including in-page skip links), designing WCAG-conformant focus indicators, and managing focus in custom interactive widgets using the roving tabindex technique.
Forced Colors Modes. You’ll learn about forced colors mode, and why and how to prepare your content for forced colors modes. We’ll discuss deceptively simple yet effective tips for optimizing your content and custom ARIA widgets to ensure they remain usable.
Thank you for putting this course together - it is by far the best I've ever been through. I was so impressed with the organization of the course. It was well thought out and I felt the order of the chapters worked exceptionally well. You dug into topics I thought I had a good handle on and provided context I didn't know I needed! The chapter on semantic HTML was a prime example of this. [..] There is a wealth of information in there!
Jill Bateman, CPACC
Digital Accessibility Coordinator, Ohio University, OIT Office of Information Security and Digital Accessibility
At TetraLogical, we’ve created a multi-month programme to help Associate Accessibility Specialists level up to become Accessibility Specialists. We’ve made Practical Accessibility a required part of the programme because it’s an excellent introduction to the technical aspects of web accessibility.
I'm a two-time award-winning independent inclusive UI engineer, author, speaker, and educator. Over the last decade, I’ve helped thousands of developers improve their front-end development skills through my writing, speaking, and training workshops, both at events and in-house for companies like Netflix, Telus, and the Royal Schiphol Amsterdam airport.
I have distilled years of my work and experience into this course, with the aim that it will save you the amount of time and effort that I had to spend when I was learning accessibility, so that you can spend that time and effort designing, building, as well as advocating for accessibility within your team and your community.

Today I bought so many licenses for S-group people to study @SaraSoueidan ‘s “Practical Accessibility” course that I had to get the limit increased on my work credit card. […] We had two developers with no accessibility experience try it out earlier in the year and the feedback was absolutely wonderful. I’m happy to be able to bring almost all of our teams along now.
Matthew Hallonbacka
Digital accessibility at S Group, Finland’s biggest retailer
My team have been really enjoying Practical Accessibility. I can really tell how much thought and hard work you put into the course, it’s really incredible. Also how digestible to content is since web accessibility is such a technical and nuanced topic. Only halfway through the course and don’t want it to end because I’m enjoying it so much! Thanks for all your hard work, it’s huge.
Chris Henrick

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the course up to date?
Yes! I am closely following developments and updates in Web platform features and browser support for these features and I'm periodically making updates to the course chapters as needed.
When you purchase the course, you will have access to a Changelog that includes a list of all relevant updates.
Please note that to ensure the content of the course remains as practical as possible, I will only add new features to the course when they become stable enough to be used in real projects, or when you can use them as a progressive enhancement in your current projects.
My goal is to ensure that the course remains as relevant and valuable to your work as possible.
Who is this course for?
The course is primarily aimed at front-end designers & developers, and JavaScript engineers, as well as back-end developers who fiddle with front-end code and want to make sure they do so in an inclusive manner. Whether you write your HTML or CSS yourself, or you use a JavaScript framework to produce them for you, you should ensure that the code that powers your websites and applications is accessible.
The content of the course is focused on technical accessibility requirements and implementations. It does not currently address visual UI/UX accessibility requirements (like typography and colors). But if you’re a designer who knows some HTML and CSS , this course can help you understand technical accessibility requirements and constraints so you can make more inclusive design decisions, as well as collaborate more efficiently with the engineers on your team (which may make you your engineering team’s favorite designer!)
You’re the ideal audience of the course if you are:
a developer who wants to understand accessibility and implement Web user interfaces that work for people with disabilities
a design engineer working closely with designers, diagnosing accessibility issues in the design before they make it to implementation
a designer who works closely with developers (who ideally also knows some HTML and CSS) and wants to level-up their accessibility knowledge and improve their collaboration with engineers
Can I take this course if I am a complete beginner in accessibility?
Yes! The course is 100% beginner-friendly. I designed the course to be inclusive of individuals with little or no prior accessibility experience. So, you don’t need any prior accessibility knowledge to take it.
That being said, the content of the course starts with the basics of each topic covered, and builds up to more advanced concepts. We will discuss different accessibility topics in-depth, and we will tackle some of them from angles that may be different from what you are used to.
If you’re a beginner in accessibility, you will acquire the knowledge that will make an accessibility champion within your team. 🎖
And if you’re already comfortable with accessibility and just want a good refresher, I’m confident that you’ll find a lot of value in it, and you will probably even learn a few new things!
Do I need to know HTML, CSS, and JavaScript?
You should have a basic knowledge of HTML and CSS to get the most out of the course. We cover high-level JavaScript functionality for some of the design patterns we will build. You should know JavaScript if you want to create some of the custom widgets yourself, but you don’t need to be proficient with JavaScript to follow along in the course.
Will I be able to apply what I learn in my project(s)?
Yes, absolutely! The course is very practical (hence the name!). You will be able to take the knowledge and techniques you will learn and apply them in your own work right away.
The course is also framework-agnostic by design. We won’t use any JavaScript or CSS frameworks. So, you will be able to apply everything you learn to any web project, regardless of what frameworks or stack you’re using.
Can I track my progress as I go through the course chapters?
Yes. Once you’ve finished a chapter, you can manually mark that chapter as complete. We don’t automatically track your progress. I care about your privacy and understand and respect that everyone learns at their own pace, and some people sometimes need or want more time. And the last thing I want to do is to make you feel uncomfortable.
When you mark a chapter as complete, a visual indicator is shown for the chapter indicating that it has been completed, so you can get a clear overview of which chapters you have left by looking at the list of chapters on the course Chapters page.
Do you offer a certficate of completion?
Yes! If you need a certificate of completion to present to your boss at work, to include in your CV, or to share it with your friends on social media, or simply to feel good about your accomplishment, you can send me an email. Make sure to include your full name as you would like it to appear on the certificate.. Me or someone on my team will then generate the certificate for you (in both PDF and JPEG formats) and send it to you.
Does the course provide IAAP education credits for the CPACC/CPWA certifications?
Yes, the Practical Accessibility course is eligible for IAAP education credits.
After finishing the course, you can submit your certificate of completion for credits through the IAAP Portal.
Because the course contains over 15 hours of video content, you can request and earn 15 credits—that’s the whole year of credits for CPACC, and just a little shy of that for CPWA.
Do you offer discounts for students?
Yes, we do!
To qualify for a student discount, you must be currently enrolled in a full-time educational institution.
To receive a discount, please email our support team with proof of enrollment, such as a student ID card or registration paperwork.
Can I purchase multiple licenses for my group or team?
Yes! With a team license you can buy a number of seats to allocate to employees, friends, or anyone you’d like to support by gifting or donating the course to.
Seats are not transferable — they cannot be re-assigned once used.
Team packages will come with bulk discounts. Please note that due to their nature, refunds are not available for team packages.
Yes! You can do that by entering their email address instead of yours during checkout. When you do, they will receive an email to set up their account and access the course content.
The only caveat here is that they will receive a copy of the purchase receipt, which will include the last 4 digits of your credit card if you’re paying by credit. And if you need a copy of the receipt, you’re going to need to ask them to forward it to you.
If you (understandably) don’t feel comfortable with this, you can purchase the course using your own email address and email me yours and the other person’s email address.
Please note that you cannot transfer your own license to someone else.
I have a promo/discount code or a group license code. Where do I enter it?
To use a promo, discount, or group license code, you will want to enter it during the checkout process.
To enter the code:
Activate the “Get Access Now” button in the CTA section of this page.
During checkout, look for and activate the button labeled “Add discount”. If you’re on desktop, you’ll probably see this as text on the left side of the checkout page. If you’re on mobile, it will be hidden inside the ‘Order Details’ section which is typically collapsed by default. Expand the ‘Order Details’ section to find the button.
Checkout on desktop/large viewport sizes.Checkout on mobile/small viewport sizes.
Enter the code in the field that appears and click the “Apply” button.
After applying the code, enter your email address and other details in the ‘Your Details’ section and proceed through checkout as normal. The total price in the ‘Payment’ section will be adjusted according to the amount of the discount you used. If you use a 100% discount code (such as a group license code), you should see a screen telling you that “there is nothing to pay”.
Complete checkout by activating the ‘Complete Checkout’ button. And you’re done.
If you have any trouble applying the code or need any assistance accessing your account, please contact our support team at support@practical-accessibility.today and we will get you taken care of as soon as possible.
I purchased the course. Now what?
After you go through checkout, you should get redirected to a Thank You page (not the Paddle thank you dialog). Once you’re redirected, an account is automatically created for you, and you should receive two emails in your Inbox: a purchase receipt from my merchant, Paddle, and an email with a link to complete and access your account. (If you’ve used a 100% discount to purchase the course, you will only receive the latter.)
Check your email inbox for these emails, and make sure to check your Spam folder just in case they land there.
If you don’t receive either of these emails or you have any trouble logging in, don’t hesitate to reach out to support@practical-accessibility.today and we will get back to you with assistance as soon as possible.
Can I change my email address from the address I purchased the course with?
If you need to change your email address, you can do that by contacting my support team support@practical-accessibility.today. Please note that you cannot transfer your license to another person.
How do I set/reset my password?
If you need to set or change your password, simply request a new link from the dedicated form. Just enter the email address you registered an account with and you’ll receive a new link right in your Inbox. If you don’t receive a link or have any trouble accessing your account, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@practical-accessibility.today.
What’s your refund policy?
If you need a refund for your purchase, you can reach out to my support team by emailwithin 30 days after your purchase and let them know. When you do, make sure you provide your order number and/or billing email. We will ask you the reason why, but you will be eligible for the refund even if you don’t want to provide any feedback. No hard feelings.
When the refund is issued, you’ll get a refund confirmation email from our merchant, Paddle, and your course account will be deleted. We won’t keep any of your account information, so please keep a copy of your purchase and refund receipts in case you ever need them.
Please note that due to their nature, refunds are not available for team packages.
Will I get a receipt/invoice for my purchase?
Right after purchasing, you will be emailed a receipt/invoice from Paddle, our merchant. You will be able to edit the recipient details on the receipt/invoice and add your preferred name and address (and VAT number).
Practical Accessibility has helped government employees in the UK and Canada, web developers in Germany, UI/UX designers in France, university staff educators in Australia, accessibility specialists and consultants in the United States, and many, many more. Here's what some of them had to say about the course:
This has easily been one of my favorite and most useful accessibility courses I’ve taken.
Greg
Senior Web Developer & UI/UX Designer, University of Cincinnati Foundation
Thank you for putting this course together - it is by far the best I’ve ever been through.
I was so impressed with the organization of the course. It was well thought out and I felt the order of the chapters worked exceptionally well.
You dug into topics I thought I had a good handle on and provided context I didn’t know I needed! The chapter on semantic HTML was a prime example of this.
I appreciated the mix of learning modalities - I could watch the video and dig deeper into the material using the transcript. There is a wealth of information in there!
I loved, loved, loved the chickens joining in from time to time!
I’m sad that I finished the course… but wait - I can go through it again! 😉
Jill Bateman, CPACC
Digital Accessibility Coordinator, Ohio University, OIT Office of Information Security and Digital Accessibility
Thank you so much for this course with all of its incredibly valuable content! I cannot imagine the amount of work you’ve put into this, it still blows my mind.
Your course is a lot to take in but let’s face it: it’s SO necessary to get a broad yet deep understanding of how to be inclusive, being a designer, a PL/PO, or an engineer!
All those hands-on examples have been crucial to fully understand what’s been discussed. And the sources? In times of searches becoming a huge part of the enshittification of the web? Worth a thousand bucks. I’m gonna need a couple of week to work myself through them though :D
So even if it’s a lot, Practical Accessibility is the absolute BEST out there to have “all you need to know” in one place. More people should do the course and I will definitely recommend it at work.
Practical Accessibility definitely already helped me in understanding why certain components and modules at work are build the way they are build. Taking a step back in looking at semantic HTML first even more than before, was a real wake up call. As was “the lesser ARIA the better”.
Amazing work, all around. This course will be my main source of truth for a long time to come! I’m certain that this will get me on a good path in becoming a more inclusive Frontend Developer.
We are working for the German government so we’re already on a good path re: Accessibility. As always: there’s room for improvement :) Thanks again for all the amazing work you’ve put into Practical Accessibility!
Elle Hanschen
Frontend Engineer at Materna Information & Communications SE
I am currently following your video course “practical accessibility” and am absolutely excited! This is “the missing manual” to accessibility. You are answering all my questions on accessibility that no website or book was ever able to answer before.
Your course is so incredibly well done, it’s worth every penny ten times. My colleagues by the way share the same impressions.
This - to me - is the by far best material about accessiblity that does exist. What you created there is really outstanding and not comparable to anything else on accessibility. I absolutely recommend it to everyone interested in accessibility on the web.
Roman Seidelsohn
Senior frontend developer at Springer Nature Digital in Berlin, Germany.
Practical Accessibility is one of the best courses I did lately. Going in I thought I knew a bit about the subject, but I knew nothing.
It was a humbling experience filled with laughs, facepalms, and the occasional rooster crow. If you feel lost when it comes to #a11y, this is the course for you.
I’d seen Sara’s presentations for years before, so I knew it would be great. It was an instant buy, and so worth it.
I recommend the course to everyone I can. It’s the best course I’ve seen on accessibility.
David Leininger
Staff Software Engineer for Design Systems and Accessibility at The New York Times
Thank you so much for such an amazing course! There’s a lot about accessibility, like ARIA and WCAG, that have seemed so intimidating and overwhelming to me. Your course has demystified so much and it feels really empowering to learn about!
Joey Pearlman
UX Designer
Ahead of my CPACC renewal, I decided to take Practical Accessibility by Sara Soueidan because I wanted to close a gap I kept running into.
When I was conducting accessibility audits in my last role, I didn’t want my work to feel like “here’s what’s wrong.” I wanted to give teams context, answer “so what?”, and make the path to fixing things feel doable. But to do that well, you have to understand what implementation actually means.
Sara’s course did exactly what I hoped. Even though I’m not a dev, it helped me understand accessibility in a more hands-on way and translate audit findings into clearer dev actions.
I’m proud of what I accomplished being mostly self-taught as the accessibility person on my team, and this course genuinely took things to the next level. Excited to carry this into my next role and keep building products that work for more people.
Kaila Thomas, CPACC
UX Designer
S'il y a une formation sur l'accessibilité que je recommande les yeux fermés c'est bien "Practical Accessibility" de Sara Soueidan.
[...]
Parce qu'il y a une chose que je ne supporte pas, c'est quand je suis des cours, lis des articles et que je sens qu'on ne reste qu'à la surface, qu'il manque un grand nombre de détails et que de nombreuses subtilités ne sont pas abordées.
Mais avec "Practical Accessibility", à aucun moment je n'ai senti qu'il me manquait des infos. Parce que chaque thème que Sara aborde, elle l'aborde de manière complète, tous les détails, toutes les subtilité, tous les tests, tout y est. Et pour élargir encore plus les thématiques, des liens sont disponibles à la fin de chaque cours.
Plus de 40 leçons pour la formation au contenu le plus complet que j'ai pu suivre depuis 3 ans que je me forme dans le domaine. Des leçons à la fois sous format texte et en vidéos, rien n'est laissé de côté.
Et si vous avez des craintes concernant l'anglais, ne vous en faites pas, le contenu est très facile à comprendre et Sara est la personne avec l'anglais le plus facile et le plus agréable à écouter et à comprendre.
Je continue au quotidien d'utiliser cette véritable encyclopédie d'informations !
Sonia Margollé

Ça a été la 1re vraie formation que j'ai suivi avant de me lancer pour de vrai dans l'accessibilité. Ce n'est pas le RGAA mais il y a beaucoup de concepts. Je recommande!
Érick Gardin
Intégrateur web (HTML / CSS 🫰) certifié accessibilité
The best accessibility course I've taken so far. It teaches with great detail, knowledge, and reliability how we can tackle almost any situation we might have to resolve when generating HTML, CSS, and JS code. It's well documented and offers high-quality demos and links.
It's the best money you'll ever spend, because the leap in quality you'll make in delivering accessible code and products is huge.

Oh it was fantastic. I'm a big fan of Sara and despite having been in the accessibility space for several years now, I still learned a number of very helpful things! Sara's incredibly well researched and it really shows in this course. I think this would uplevel an engineer way better than some of the other courses out there. She went deep into some important topics that other courses just skim over.
We are using the course as part of training in our Accessibility Champions program. 🙂
