Name: Jessica Enders Email: jessicae@hiser.com.au Affiliation: The Hiser Group Document: W2 Item Number: Make text content readable and understandable. Part of Item: Comment Type: TE Comment (Including rationale for any proposed change): In the previous version of these guidelines there was a very specific criterion regarding placement of labels and their associated fields (10.2). There doesn\'t seem to be any mention of this in the current guidelines, yet I would have thought that placement significantly impacts on accessibility. For example, a screen reader experience with a label to the left of a field versus to the right would be quite different. Proposed Change: Suggest the ideal orientation of labels in reference to their associated fields, based on your knowledge of screen readers and related mechanisms people with disabilities use to navigate through forms.
