Linux distributions uses AT-SPI (Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface) as the the core of an accessibility stack. AT-SPI was designed for X11, with the assumption that every application would both know and control the position of each of its windows in global screen coordinates. AT-SPI has architectural limitations that make it difficult to have it work well with Wayland.
The Newton project is about developing a Wayland accessibility solution using a push-based architecture.
