Scott O'Hara is a senior accessibility engineer at The Paciello Group, who comes from a background in website design and UX development. Professionally working on the web since 2003, Scott is happiest when building accessible user experiences, and kicking ARIA's tires (metaphorically speaking). When not working, he can be found engaging in some sort of family activity, trying to enjoy some quiet time, or again, mucking around with building accessible UI components. You can follow Scott on Twitter @scottohara or on GitHub.
The Trials and Tribulations of the Title Attribute
Scott O’Hara explores the accessibility challenges of HTML’s title attribute, including inconsistent browser and screen reader support. He explains common misuses and identifies situations where title can still provide accessibility value.
The Three Developers and the Insightful User Tester
Scott O’Hara uses a Three Little Pigs-inspired story to show how developers can create accessibility barriers through poor HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and ARIA choices. He highlights semantic HTML, keyboard access, accessibility testing, and learning from users with disabilities.
