Any news on this?

Did anyone get this working? I'm trying stuff around by tweaking some code in the plugin js but so far the screen reader doesn't give a crap about the options and doesn't read them on focus. So is there any progress on this?

Bumping this. Huge blocker in using selectboxit on production sites. I was able to force accessibility with a ton of extra JS, but IE11 won't allow me to unhide the original for screen readers to see and still properly open the Selectboxit dropdown 👎
