Answer

To ensure your Bootstrap form is accessible for screen readers, use proper labels, roles, and ARIA attributes. Here's a basic example of an accessible form using Bootstrap 5:

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
        <form>
            <div class="mb-3">
                <label for="email" class="form-label">Email address</label>
                <input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" aria-describedby="emailHelp">
                <div id="emailHelp" class="form-text">We'll never share your email with anyone else.</div>
            </div>
            <div class="mb-3">
                <label for="password" class="form-label">Password</label>
                <input type="password" class="form-control" id="password">
            </div>
            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
        </form>
        <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

Use the `` element to associate labels with form controls, ensuring screen readers can announce them.
The `aria-describedby` attribute links additional descriptive text to form elements.
Use Bootstrap's form classes like `form-control` and `form-label` for consistent styling and structure.
Ensure all interactive elements, like buttons, are keyboard accessible.
