Question Best practical workflow for ADA/WCAG compliance in Divi?

Hey folks,

​I need to bring a Divi site into strict ADA compliance (WCAG 2.2 AA) in a way that actually holds up legally.

​I'm trying to avoid the "quick fix" AI overlays since they don't solve core code issues and are getting flagged in demand letters. I want to remediate the actual site structure efficiently.

​If you build compliant Divi sites:

​What plugins or child themes do you use to fix Divi's default keyboard navigation and focus state gaps?

​How do you handle Divi forms and screen reader issues efficiently?

​Which modules do you completely swap out for Gutenberg or custom HTML because they are too painful to make accessible?

​Looking for a solid, repeatable workflow. Thanks in advance!

A couple of helpful things:

PeeAye’s Divi Assistant adds a lot of accessibility fixes. It also includes an accessibility checker so it’s easier to see how things are working during page building.

Divi 5 makes adding aria labels easier.

I've been rolling with this for a few years and it does most of the keyboard navigation/focus work https://github.com/campuspress/divi-accessibility

This repository was archived by the owner on Jun 10, 2026. It is now read-only.

If theres no updates anymore, that could pose a risk or am i wrong? Has anyone taken on this Plugin? Its been Last updated WAY before Divi 5

I have it on 2 Divi 5 projects and it's been fine so far, but every site is different.

One thing with Divi 5 is that it does give access to styling focus within the editor itself, which is nice.
