We’ll explore practical and straightforward techniques to enhance accessibility, focusing on the effective use of ARIA attributes to improve screen reader interactions, managing focus for seamless navigation, and leveraging Angular's Router to support accessibility-friendly navigation flows.

I will introduce some linting rules and incorporating testing tools to ensure your Angular applications are consistently accessible from development through deployment.
