I was having some issues with this still triggering ADA compliance issues, ended up writing out a similar js assist script, not to hijack this thread at all but in case anyone is needing additional compliance assistance (tab index value toggling additionally) I threw mine up at https://github.com/luckyth13teen/Flickity_ada_assist .
Thanks for the initial jump off point Neodigm

@GLips I am having the same aria-hidden accessibility fail reported for our flip-cards powered by the Flickity carousel. Would you mind telling me how to use/install your patch on the page? Is it added as a stand alone script after fickity js is loaded? Or is it added somewhere within the Flickity javascript? Our example use page can be seen here: https://www.easternflorida.edu/financial-aid/index.php The four blue boxes in the 'Types of Financial Aid' section of this page is what uses the Flickity carousel. I am not great with Javascript. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
