Dear members,
I am screen reader user from Brazil.
I've decided to use AdaptiveTheme to Drupal, because it is the only one that follows all standard accessibility found at WCAG However, I've get
a really serious difficulty in my point of view. There are two lateral bars that are called near the content, which makes that the screen
readers read the content only after the general content,, even the first
lateral bar is posicioned in the left, it means, before the general content. How can I solve this problem?
Best regards,
Leondeniz.

It depends on how the theme
It depends on how the theme handles the layout for sidebars. AdaptiveTheme, like most good themes, uses a content-first approach to the three columns: having the main column come first in source order, followed by the sidebars. This is usually the best option because the main column is often more important and should be read first by screen readers.
You can rearrange the HTML source order to make the first sidebar come first, but that requires updating the template and adjusting any corresponding CSS. How familiar are you with Drupal theming?

This is the problem. I am not
This is the problem. I am not familiar with drupal theming. And my knowledge in CSS is little.
I had already made many modifications, but it didn't work.
I think that if AdaptiveTheme intend to be accessible, the colluns would be called in order that appears on screen.
dcmouyard, Do you think that you could help me in this modifications?
Thanks again.
