 ## Accessibility
 
+The `d2l-collapsible-panel` component adheres to [W3C's Disclosure Pattern](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/disclosure/) and any components added to any of the slots should also adhere to its respective pattern.
+
 ### Panel label
+
 By default, the panel is described by screen readers with the `panel-title` attribute. There may be situations where the screen reader should read additional information. In this case, a special label can be specified using the `expand-collapse-label` property.
 
 ### Keyboard behaviour
 
-On focus, a focus ring (blue border) goes around the clickable area of the component. When collapsed, this area is the entire panel; when expanded, it's only the header.
+On focus, a focus ring (blue border) goes around the clickable area of the component. When collapsed, this area is the entire panel; when expanded, it's only the header. When focused, users can expand or collapse the panel using the `Enter` or `Space` key.
 
 Any focusable actions placed in the `actions` slot will receive focus after the panel recevies focus. The open/close icon beside the `actions` slot looks like a button, but is an indicator of component state. It will not receive focus like a typical button.
