6.4 Each section should have a heading
For a user using a screen reader the heading structure of the page can be very powerful. The elements that are implemented as headings tell the user what is included on the page. It also allows for easier navigation through screen reader specific commands. By labelling each section with a heading we allow the user to quickly browse and navigate directly to the content that they are interested in.
