+**WCAG Version:** 2.1  
+**Report Date:** 2025  
+**Conformance Level Target:** Level AA
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The Button component has been designed and implemented with accessibility as a core requirement. This report documents compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. The component demonstrates strong adherence to accessibility best practices across all four WCAG principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust.
+
+**Overall Compliance Status:** ✅ **WCAG 2.1 Level AA Compliant**
+
+---
+
+## 1. Perceivable
+
+### 1.1 Text Alternatives (Level A)
+
+#### 1.1.1 Non-text Content (Level A) ✅
+
+**Status:** Compliant
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+- Icon-only buttons require `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby` for accessible names
+- Decorative icons (when text is present) are marked with `aria-hidden="true"`
+- Loading spinners are marked with `aria-hidden="true"` and have separate screen reader announcements
+- Visual loading state is announced via `aria-live="polite"` region
+
+**Code Reference:**
+
+```137:144:packages/blend/lib/components/Button/ButtonBase.tsx
+                aria-busy={isLoading || isSkeleton ? 'true' : undefined}
+                aria-label={
+                    isSkeleton && text && !htmlProps['aria-label']
+                        ? text
+                        : htmlProps['aria-label']
+                          ? htmlProps['aria-label']
+                          : undefined
+                }
+```
+
+**Test Coverage:** ✅ Verified in `Button.accessibility.test.tsx` (lines 129-167)

+    - `aria-pressed` supported for toggle buttons
+- Icon relationships properly marked with `aria-hidden` when decorative
+
+**Code Reference:**
+
+```236:240:packages/blend/lib/components/Button/ButtonBase.tsx
+                                aria-hidden={text ? 'true' : undefined}
+                                style={{ opacity: isSkeleton ? 0 : 1 }}

+  aria-label="Save document"
+/>
+
+// ❌ Incorrect - Missing accessible name
+<Button

+- Offset from button edge for visibility
+- Uses `:focus-visible` for keyboard-only focus
+
+**Focus Behavior:**
+
+- Maintains focus after click (standard button behavior)
+- Focus removed on blur
+- Disabled buttons cannot receive focus
+
+**Test Coverage:** ✅ Lines 194-233 in `Button.accessibility.test.tsx`
+
+---
+
