+
+Bootstrap follows common web standards and—with minimal extra effort—can be used to create sites that are accessible to those using <abbr title="Assistive Technology" class="initialism">AT</abbr>.
+
+### Skip navigation
+
+If your navigation contains many links and comes before the main content in the DOM, add a `Skip to main content` link immediately after your opening `<body>` tag. [(read why)](http://a11yproject.com/posts/skip-nav-links/)
+
+{% highlight html %}
+<body>
+  <a href="#content" class="sr-only sr-only-focusable">Skip to main content</a>
+  <div class="container" id="content">
+    The main page content.
+  </div>
+</body>
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+### Nested headings
+
+When nesting headings (`<h1>` - `<h6>`), your primary document header should be an `<h1>`. Subsequent headings should make logical use of `<h2>` - `<h6>` such that screen readers can construct a table of contents for your pages.
