*/

##Introducing ngAria

A new feature released in Angular 1.3.0 is the accessibility module: ngAria. As someone involved in with the development of this community-driven module, I thought it might be helpful to introduce ngAria. I'll also explain what the module can’t do and what issues you must consider when building accessible, single-page web applications with AngularJS.

The goal of ngAria is to improve Angular's default accessibility by enabling common ARIA attributes for directives. Using ngAria is as simple as requiring the ngAria module in your application. ngAria hooks silently hooks into standard AngularJS directives and quietly injects accessibility support into your application at runtime.

The list of supported directive attributes is currently limited; but we are identifying other ways the module can improve accessibility by default. To explain the current state
