In short, yes. A disabled form element should always have the
disabledattribute and must not havearia-hiddenordisplay: noneso that screen readers can inform the userIf the form element's disabled state is meant to communicate and prompt action from the user you must have some other accessibility affordance. Our provided
invalidTextprop used on the preceding form step/element would work nicelyThe user could then infer that the next form element is disabled because they have an unfulfilled requirement on the previous step.
