Abstract

This guide helps testers, designers, and developers evaluate digital content against WCAG 2.2 AA. It provides a clear, practical breakdown of all 59 criteria, grouped by the POUR principles, with steps for testing each - individually and together - ensuring accessible and inclusive user experiences. The first part describes how to use different types of accessibility-testing tools. The second part outlines which aspects you should check. This is followed by an accessibility abbreviation glossary. This resource was created as complementary material to the webinar ARDC National Skills Forum: Accessible and inclusive training on 18 February 2026. Register here.
