How to Check Whether a Website Form Works With a Screen Reader

A form may look clear but still fail when labels, error messages, focus order, or status updates are not exposed to assistive technology.

Checks to make

Test keyboard-only navigation and a screen reader, confirm each field has a programmatic label, associate instructions and errors with controls, announce submission status, and ensure focus moves predictably after validation. Include real users where possible.
