3.3.2 Describe Accessibility Features: For each user agent feature that is used to meet UAAG 2.0, at least one of the following is true: (Level A) (a) Described in the documentation: Use of the feature is explained in the user agents's documentation; or (b) Described in the interface: Use of the feature is explained in the user agent user interface; or (c) Platform service: The feature is a service provided by an underlying platform. Intent of Success Criterion 3.3.2 : Users with disabilities that need to use the accessibility features of the user agent user interface can easily find descriptions of how to use and configure the features to work with assistive technology. These descriptions can be provided in the documentation or user interface of the authoring tool or by the underlying platform, if the feature is in fact a service of that platform. Examples of Success Criterion 3.3.2 : Andromeda has a tremor that makes using the mouse efficiently difficult. She prefers using keyboard. Andomeda decides to explore using a new browser. Opening Help, she finds a section entitled "Browser Features Supporting Accessibility", a vendor provides a detailed description of user agent features which provide accessibility. In the Accessibility section she finds an item called Keyboard Shortcuts which lists all of the functions and commands available from the keyboard. A user is exploring the menus of a user agent and finds a feature named Use My Style Sheet. Activating the feature, the user quickly learns that this feature allows custom CSS stylesheets to be created to help make web content more accessible. -- Jim Allan, Accessibility Coordinator & Webmaster Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired 1100 W. 45th St., Austin, Texas 78756 voice 512.206.9315 fax: 512.206.9264 http://www.tsbvi.edu/ "We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us."
