1. Avoid blinking or scrolling text. Moving text and animation can be a distraction to people with cognitive disabilities. Screen readers or individuals with visual or cognitive disabilities may not be able to read moving text.
    

2. Avoid causing the screen to flicker; large flickering or flashing images may cause seizures in users with photosensitive epilepsy. These seizures can be triggered by flickering or flashing in the 4 to 59 flashes per second (Hertz) range, with greatest sensitivity occurring at 20 flashes per second. Rapid tonal changes can have the same effect.
    

3. Provide clear text alternatives for continuous animation.
    

4. Check accessibility by viewing your page in multiple browsers and platforms, then verify it with tools like CAST's on-line BOBBY verification tool.
