Experience a Screen Reader

Part of the problem of understanding accessibility is our ability to ignore the challenges faced by blind and visually impaired. Get better at understanding accessibility by putting yourself in the position of a blind user.

Modern Apple Macs come with voiceover built in so hit CMD+F5 and blindfold yourself while you test/experience your application like a blind person.

Alternatively, download a free trial of one of many screen reader software on the market that support your operating system.
