Remember that in most cases, users encounter IdP discovery as an interruption of another task, such as trying to read an article. The recommendations in this section focus on helping users quickly find their institution and get back to their original task by minimizing clicks and cognitive load.

Accessibility Notes for Institution Search
Follow overall principles for Seamless Access Accessibility.
For institution search:
Provide clear labeling that is available to assistive technology, that indicates how to use the search form (e.g.
aria-labelledby
)Only automatically focus on the search form if it is the only purpose of the page.
Provide auto-focus and ability to move out of the dialog, when search is presented in a dialog.
Announce (e.g.
aria-live
) to the user a search has been initiated and results are being gathered (loading bar), add a delay in the announcement to ensure assistive technologies can announce the activity fully.
