How to Make Website Status Messages Available to Assistive Technology

11/10/2026

Dynamic status changes may be visible on screen but remain unannounced to users of screen readers.

Checks to make

Identify asynchronous updates such as save results and validation status, expose them with appropriate semantic live regions, and avoid moving focus unexpectedly. Test announcements for timing, repetition, and clarity with assistive technology.

When to get help
