Course syllabus:

CHAPTER 1: Accessibility Remediation Strategies

This chapter guides developers and testers through fixing common WCAG Level AA issues with practical, role-specific solutions.

1.1 Remediating Semantic C Structural Issues

• Use semantic HTML (, , , )
• Replace / with meaningful elements
• Maintain proper heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3)
• Add ARIA roles only when necessary
