How to write user stories for accessibility

Not a particularly long article, but I may as well cut straight to the chase with some examples:

As a keyboard-only user, I want to know where I am on the screen so that I can perform an action or navigate to other areas of the site.

Or

As a screen reader user, I want to hear the text equivalent for each image button so that I will know what function it performs.

Accessibility user stories are just like any other user story: they start with a persona, identify the desired goal, and define the benefit to the user.

The article links to some further reading, including this GOV.UK blog post from 2018.
