This criteria is tremendously helpful to assistive technology users, as well as to individuals with attention deficit disorder (ADD).

This carousel has the following features:
The picture only changes when the user selects a different picture.

If the user navigates among the pictures using keyboard commands, the navigation follows a logical left-to-right order.
All pictures have descriptive text that can be read by screen readers.
Does this carousel meet WCAG Success Criteria 2.2.2?
