While tabbed navigation is accessible to users of screen readers, dropdown navigation is not. The dropdown links can be activated using the keyboard but only the first sub-page can be accessed (the submenu cannot be accessed using the keyboard)
There are various options for how to make this accessible
- Give each user an option to turn dropdown navigation on/off
- Set a session variable for screen reader users which turns it off
- Try and make the dropdown menu navigable using the keyboard
