Drupal Accessibility Features

• Check out the Alternative Text Guide
• Alternative, or Alt, Text is text added to any images, graphs, charts, or non-text content that is read by screen readers.
• When adding an image in Drupal, there is a required, built-in option to add alt text. Adding alt text is necessary to save and insert the image.
• Using the "Title" attribute when adding an image, icon, button, etc. The title attribute is especially helpful for buttons and icons. For example, when adding a "Read More" button, add a title attribute that says "Read More about Digital Accessibility." This attribute will be read to screen reader users and will be shown to sighted users when they hover over it.
