a visual map titled "WCAG 2.2 MAP - by theme," illustrating the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 success criteria organized by themes. The map is designed like a subway system, with different colored lines representing various accessibility themes: Keyboard (blue), Code & Labels (green), Operable (yellow), Sensory (orange), Understandable (purple), and Whole Site (pink). Each line connects to stations labeled with specific WCAG criteria, such as "2.4.1 Bypass Blocks" (Keyboard), "1.3.1 Info and Relationships" (Code & Labels), "2.1.1 Keyboard" (Operable), "1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)" (Sensory), "3.2.1 On Focus" (Understandable), and "2.4.5 Multiple Ways" (Whole Site). The map highlights Level A and AA success criteria, with a focus on practical testing. Additional themes include Zoom & Legibility (yellow circle) and Gestures (green circle).
