--- layout: docs title: Visually hidden description: Use these helpers to visually hide elements but keep them accessible to assistive technologies. group: helpers aliases: "/docs/5.1/helpers/screen-readers/" --- Visually hide an element while still allowing it to be exposed to assistive technologies (such as screen readers) with `.visually-hidden`. Use `.visually-hidden-focusable` to visually hide an element by default, but to display it when it's focused (e.g. by a keyboard-only user). `.visually-hidden-focusable` can also be applied to a container–thanks to `:focus-within`, the container will be displayed when any child element of the container receives focus. {{< example >}}
