The Kendo UI for jQuery Button component is [WCAG 2.1 AAA](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/) and [Section 508](http://www.section508.gov/) compliant. The component also follows the [WAI-ARIA best practices](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/) for implementing the keyboard navigation for its component role, and is tested against the popular screen readers.

## Wai-Aria

| Selector | Attribute | Usage |
| -------- | --------- | ----- |
| .k-button | `role=button` or `nodeName=button` | If for any reason the used element is not a `<button>` it should have an explicitly set `role` to `button`. |
|  | `aria-label` |  Announces the purpose of the button if no text is provided to an icon button. |
