### Remarks

This property controls the visibility of the node to screen readers, ensuring that only relevant elements are accessible to the user. For example, elements that are covered by a modal view should not be accessible.

If this property is set to `false`, the screen reader ignores the node and prevents the user from focusing on it. This is useful when temporarily disabling the node is preferred over removing it from the hierarchy.
