Accessibility is no longer an afterthought — Drupal 11 builds it into every site by default. Discover how Single Directory Components, Recipes, and real-time tools empower you to create inclusive, scalable experiences effortlessly.

Prerequisite
Basic familiarity with Drupal (8/9/10), site building, and a general understanding of accessibility (WCAG standards recommended but not mandatory).

Outline
This session explores how Drupal 11 transforms accessibility from a separate step into an integrated, default practice. We’ll dive into creating accessible UI components using Single Directory Components (SDCs), deploying accessible structures using the Recipes API, empowering content creators with real-time accessibility validation, and automating accessibility maintenance through core update workflows. A live demo will illustrate building and validating an accessible component inside Drupal 11’s new architecture.
