+            <p>TriStateCheckbox component uses an element with <i>checkbox</i> role. Value to describe the component can either be provided with <i>aria-labelledby</i> or <i>aria-label</i> props. Component adds an element with
+            <i>aria-live</i> attribute that is only visible to screen readers to read the value displayed. Values to read are defined with the <i>trueLabel</i>, <i>falseLabel</i> and <i>nullLabel</i> keys of the <i>aria</i>
+                property from the <router-link to="/locale">locale</router-link> API. This is an example of a custom accessibility implementation as there is no one to one mapping between the component design and the WCAG specification.</p>
