Accessibility and Charts: A better solution

Graphs and charts are a visual means of presenting information. WCAG guidelines mandate including a description or a table with the values of the chart. While traditionally this has somewhat filled it's purpose I feel it is our responsibilty to develop with accessibility from the beginning of the project. With this in mind a developer can plan for issues that arise. The above chart uses tags to not only give the user the exact value of the information being presented but it is also fully readable by a screen reader.

The estimated annual cost of tobacco use in Canada is around (Reid, Hammond, Burkhalter, & Ahmed, 2012).

Approximately 9% of cannabis users will go on to develop dependence (Anthony et al., 1994; Lopez-Quintero et al., 2011). You can see how this percentage compares with the likelihood of dependence for other legal and illegal drugs below.
