I don't recommend that solution. We have tested this kind of form with a
highly proficient screen reader user, and he could not understand it at all.
In fact it was one of the few tasks he has ever failed to complete. This is
one of those cases where marking up content so it is semantically correct
does not mean it can be understood by users.

I recommend using <label> elements for each radio button and hiding them
off-screen.

This was discussed at length on GAWDS very recently but I don't have time to
dig out the thread.

Subject: [WSG] Accessible likert scale (disagree/agree/strongly agree/etc)
forms

Hello All,

I'm working on a Likert scale questionnaire (Strongly Agree/Agree/
Undecided/Disagree/Strongly Disagree) with 20 questions and some Googling
came up with the following approach...

AccessibleRadioButtons.html

...and I was wondering what the general opinion of this or any other
solutions was.

Thanks,

Nick
