Accessibility Enhancements for Application Form

[stmcpeters]

Description

This issue aims to enhance the accessibility of the current Techtonica application form templates. This includes adding ARIA attributes and focus states in order to make the form usable for screen readers and keyboard users.

Why This Is Important

• Ensures applicants using assistive technologies can navigate and complete the form independently.
• Upholds Techtonica’s commitment to inclusivity and equitable access.
• Aligns with web standards and WCAG guidelines for accessibility compliance.

Acceptance Criteria

• Improve focus states for keyboard navigation
• Add necessary ARIA attributes to enhance screen reader compatibility
• Submit a PR that merges into the mvp branch, not develop

Resources/Possible Solutions

• W3C
• a11y collective
• MDN Web Docs

Update:
This issue was split from a previous issue that combined media query enhancements and accessibility improvements. To keep them separate, I have divided them into different PRs. I will be creating a new branch and a PR specifically for this accessibility-related work and will provide updates accordingly.
