How to Make Website Expandable Sections Work With Screen Readers

Expandable panels need clear control labels and state announcements so users know when content is available.

Checks to make

Use a button with an accessible name and expanded state, connect it to the controlled content, and preserve keyboard operation. Test multiple panels, focus order, and screen reader announcements when sections open and close.
