A gentle introduction to assistive technologies (predominantly screen readers), their users, and the accessibility tree.

It will be explained how Javascript can both make well-designed websites more accessible, as well as make well-designed websites inaccessible. This will initially look at vanilla JavaScript.

The talk will be lighthearted, simple, and focus on skills that any web developer can use.
