# ButtonGroup Accessibility

Out of the box, the Kendo UI for Vue ButtonGroup provides extensive accessibility support and enables users with disabilities to acquire complete control over its features.

The ButtonGroup is compliant with the [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/) standards and [Section 508](http://www.section508.gov/) requirements, follows the [Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/) best practices for implementing keyboard navigation for its `component` role, provides options for managing its focus and is tested against the most popular screen readers.

## WAI-ARIA

This section lists the selectors, attributes, and behavior patterns supported by the component and its composite elements, if any.

| Selector                                                                      | Attribute            | Usage                                                                                                                             |

| `.k-button-group:not(.k-split-button)`                                        | `role=group`         | Sets the proper role for the group of buttons.                                                                                    |
| `.k-button-group.k-disabled`                                                  | `aria-disabled=true` | The attribute is rendered only when the entire button group is disabled.                                                          |
| `.k-button-group:not(.k-split-button):not(.k-scheduler-navigation) .k-button` | `aria-pressed`       | Specifies the current state of the ButtonGroup. Only the selected button within the group will have this attribute set to `true`. |
