# Skeleton Accessibility

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

The Skeleton is compliant with the [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AAA](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/) standards and [Section 508](https://www.section508.gov/) requirements, follows the [Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/) best practices, provides options for managing component's 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.

The Skeleton component does not have accessibility on its own as it is only visual indicator and should be integrated within an element that refers to the loading state. When integrated on a page, you might:

* use `aria-busy` attribute to illustrate that the focusable element is loading
* use `role="alert"` to announce the loading

## Section 508

The Skeleton is fully compliant with the [Section 508 requirements](http://www.section508.gov/).

## Testing

The Skeleton has been extensively tested automatically with [axe-core](https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core) and manually with the most popular screen readers.

> To report any accessibility issues, contact the team through the [Telerik Support System](https://www.telerik.com/account/support-center).

| Environment    | Tool |
