Description
Ever since the update to the latest version, there is no accesibility option for the widgets page. Like the screen settings to turn on accessibility mode.

That is a screen shot of what I see in the Widget area page. No Screen options button to turn on accessibility mode

To clarify, this happens because the page is zoomed by the browser at 175% and the "responsive view" kicks in changing the layout and the display of all the admin screens. The exact zoom level the responsive view kicks in at may vary depending on the screen size and resolution, for example on the laptop I'm using right now I have to zoom at 200%. In the responsive view, the Screen Options and Help tabs are hidden, see #36123 as pointed out by @SergeyBiryukov :)
From an accessibility point of view, worth considering many people do zoom the pages so it would be better to don't hide important controls in the responsive view. A quick fix would be adjusting the CSS media query but I'd recommend to re-think these two tabs and try to improve them.
@willsworldwv as a temporary workaround you could try to zoom out at 150% or 125% and these two tabs should re-appear, set accessibility mode and then zoom in again.

@willsworldwv I just checked 4.5.1 and I see the widgets accessibility mode available under screen options where I remember seeing it before. (See screenshot above.)
