 ### What about accessibility, such as screen readers?
 egui includes optional support for [AccessKit](https://accesskit.dev/), which currently implements the native accessibility APIs on Windows and macOS. This feature is enabled by default in eframe. For platforms that AccessKit doesn't yet support, including web, there is an experimental built-in screen reader; in [the web demo](https://www.egui.rs/#demo) you can enable it in the "Backend" tab.
 
+See [the accessibility guide](./docs/accessibility.md) for how labels, custom widgets, AccessKit, and `egui_kittest` fit together.
+
 The original discussion of accessibility in egui is at <https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/167>. Now that AccessKit support is merged, providing a strong foundation for future accessibility work, please open new issues on specific accessibility problems.
 
 ### What is the difference between [egui](https://docs.rs/egui) and [eframe](https://github.com/emilk/egui/tree/main/crates/eframe)?

+# Accessibility
+
+egui can expose its widget tree through [AccessKit](https://accesskit.dev/).
+When using `eframe`, AccessKit support is enabled by default on native
+platforms where an adapter is available. Integrations that build directly on
+`egui` can opt in with `Context::enable_accesskit()` before running frames.
+
+## Labels
+
+Most built-in widgets register their role and accessible name when shown
+through the usual egui APIs. Buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, sliders, combo
+boxes, text edits, links, windows, images, and progress indicators all contribute
+widget information to the AccessKit tree.
+
+For inputs with a separate visible label, connect the input response to the
+label:
+
+```rust
+let label = ui.label("User name:");
+ui.text_edit_singleline(&mut user_name).labelled_by(label.id);
+```
+
+## Custom widgets
+
+If a widget is visual-only or draws custom shapes, give it explicit widget
+information:
+
+```rust
+use egui::{Sense, WidgetInfo, WidgetType};
+
+let (_rect, response) = ui.allocate_exact_size(size, Sense::click());
+// Paint using ui.painter().
+response.widget_info(|| {
+    WidgetInfo::labeled(WidgetType::Button, ui.is_enabled(), "Open color picker")
+});
+```
+
+Choose the closest `WidgetType`. For non-interactive custom content, prefer a
+label or image role where possible rather than leaving the node unnamed.
+
+## Testing
+
+`egui_kittest` builds on AccessKit, so tests can query the same roles and names
+that screen readers consume:
+
+```rust
+use egui::accesskit::Role;
+use egui_kittest::{Harness, kittest::Queryable as _};
+
+let mut harness = Harness::new_ui_state(
+    |ui, accepted| {
+        ui.checkbox(accepted, "Accept terms");
+    },
+    false,
+);
+
+harness
+    .get_by_role_and_label(Role::CheckBox, "Accept terms")
+    .click();
+harness.run();
+
+assert!(*harness.state());
+```
+
+You can also inspect the tree in the demo app when it is built with the
+`accessibility_inspector` feature.
