Screen readers such as JAWS cannot currently distinguish between the different portions of the display - for example, when editing a patron, we visually see a menu across the top, a patron menu, a patron summary, and the patron edit form, but the screen reader sees it all as a single page that runs together. The interface does not provide a way for the JAWS user to get an overview of what is on the page or to navigate easily to the section they wish to access without going through every element one by one.

I think the simplest way to fix this would be to add HTML headers (<h1>) to each section so that JAWS users can easily jump to the section they need to access.
