The Drupal Accessibility Advantage: It's all about starting with Core
summary
Drupal fixes accessibility at the platform level: Drupal 7 and 8 add semantic form labels, HTML5 landmarks, and fieldset improvements so generated sites are less likely to break accessibility, with 800,000 websites more accessible by default. Core integrates libraries that improved accessibility (jQuery UI, CKEditor), contributes back to them, and ships new APIs like ARIA live announcements API and a controlled tab manager for predictable keyboard flow; automated tools (QUAIL) and simpletest.me support validation and iterative fixes.
