Hi @coforma-terry @sara-amanda, We are hoping to begin the study next week on the 16th. Would someone be available for a Pilot session before then? Additionally, can someone join sessions with participants that utilize screen readers?

Hi, we are hoping to begin the study next week on the 16th. Would someone be available for a Pilot session before then? Additionally, can someone join sessions with participants that utilize screen readers?
@mgleo and @charlottecesana
Thank you for reaching out!
I went ahead and created a primary research ticket (#88124), and this ticket will be used for the pilot segment of your research work. I put a note in this ticket and the main ticket that there will be limited CAIA A11Y capacity the week of 7/15.
There are currently multiple studies the week of 7/15, two studies have scheduled sessions on the CAIA Capacity Calendar and two studies have holds. Tuesday, July 16; however, we should have time to run a pilot. 😄
I put a calendar hold/invite on the calendar and included you both. Evan is OOO at the moment, so when he returns, we will finalize the date/time.
Just let us know as soon as you have your two SR sessions scheduled and we can see if we can cover those as well. Thanks so much!

@mgleo and @charlottecesana - Evan has confirmed for tomorrow's pilot. I have updated the invite for the pilot. Thank you, @EvanAtCoforma!
I see you also sent over the three sessions.

Hi, all! I took some pilot session notes of accessibility issues and considerations for the team. Some of them are items we chatted about during the call, I just wanted to make sure they were documented for future reference since I know y'all jumped to your first session shortly afterwards.
I broke the notes up by page we were on. Here's some things of note:
Let me or Evan know if you have any questions or want to chat through any of the feedback. Thank you for piloting with us - I look forward to your team's findings once y'all wrap up research!

@rileyorr, @EvanAtCoforma, thanks for the notes and for being on the call earlier today! I was able to figure out the table issue. It's a bug in the component's v1 version. After updating it to the v3 USWDS version, the table title now gets announced with the other table details properly.
Here's a screen share of it working:

Awesome! Glad you were able to update the component to the v3 version. If you don't mind, could you let me know what the issue was in the code? Would be nice to know in case I run into any issues again with table titles not being read. A high level description is fine!

@EvanAtCoforma, not exactly sure, but I think it's just a limitation of the old v1 table component.
Hi @EvanAtCoforma, We had a participant who uses JAWS reschedule to tomorrow, Tuesday at 3pm ET. Would you be able to join? cc @charlottecesana @josephrlee
Thank you for including CAIA A11Ys in your user research. We appreciate your team's dedication, creating with accessibility front-of-mind. We hope to work with you again, soon!
