does Web Accessibillity works well with Backbone

I am facing issues using Web Accessibility (using ARIA) with Backbone. When a view is getting rendered, automatically focus is going to that view and screen reader is reading that section in the order views are getting rendered. Is this the right behavior? I want to control this as I want screen reader to read the content the order I want. Please let me know your suggestions.

If you are using templates for your views you can put your ARIA attributes in the HTML tag.

<ul role="tablist">
 <li id="ch1Tab" role="tab">
  {{data}}
 </li>
</ul>

as far as screen readers it reads it from top to bottom but it doesn't trigger it to read the page again.

here is a discussion on the approach Accessibility and all these JavaScript frameworks

Javascript is not an issue its the foundation of the markup that is rendered in the browser. w
