Form Control Status

Issue Description

A form control (slider/toggle, radio button, checkbox) does not announce the correct state when receiving or activating the element.

Recommendation

When a form control receives focus, it's state should be communicated to assistive technology users, such as a screen reader announcement or displayed in refreshable braille. When a form control is activated, the user should be informed of the new status of the element.
