Aria (region)

Okay kiddo, today we're going to talk about ARIA, which is a special code that helps people who use screen readers to understand and navigate websites better.

Do you know what a screen reader is? It's a tool that helps people who are blind or visually impaired to use computers and browse the internet. Instead of seeing the website, they use the screen reader to read out loud everything that's on the page. That way, they can find the information they need and use the website just like everyone else.

But sometimes, websites can be really complicated and confusing for a screen reader to understand. That's where ARIA comes in! ARIA is a code that website developers can use to tell the screen reader how to navigate the website and what information is important.

One special kind of ARIA is called a "region". A region is like a box on the webpage that has important information inside it. It could be a form where you enter your name and address, or a section of a page that has news articles. By using ARIA to mark this as a region, website developers can help the screen reader understand that this section is important and should be read out loud first.

So remember, ARIA is a special code that helps people who use screen readers to understand websites better. And regions are like boxes on the page that have important information inside them.
