* Basic skills with and knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript or common front-end frameworks or libraries.
* Knowledge of ARIA and related WAI documentation, and of how ARIA can be used in complex user interface design and development
* An understanding of how people with disability use digital products and systems and the functional impact of impairments, injury, and health conditions on accessibility. Further, knowledge of and proficiency with common assistive technologies such as screen magnifiers, speech-to-text applications, screen readers, and operating system accessibility features and accessibility-related utilities
* A solid knowledge of interaction and content design principles, best practices, and industry trends and an understanding of web technologies such as web browsers, the basics of system architectures, and the workings of common assistive technologies
* A detailed understanding of WCAG guidelines, including how it is commonly interpreted and applied, and its shortcomings and limitations
