ember-a11y

This Ember addon provides a {{focusing-outlet}} component which you can use in place of normal {{outlet}}s.
The current implementation of this addon will immediately apply focus to the most relevant piece of content based on actions users take (clicking buttons, links, etc). This allows screen readers to catch changes and read the right information, thus providing a much better experience for screen reader users.

Usage

ember install ember-a11y
In your templates you would then swap in {{focusing-outlet}} for {{outlet}} wherever it may occur.
You also need to ensure that your application's router is not set to use locationType: 'hash'. Set ENV.locationType appropriately inside of config/environment.js.

Note about ember-getowner-polyfill

var app = new EmberAddon(defaults, {
  addons: {
    blacklist: ['ember-getowner-polyfill']
  }
});
