Excited. Overwhelmed. Anxious.
Motivated. Stumped. These are just a few of the emotions I am feeling as I
embark on this journey called “Accessibility Features”.
These “features”, when placed in the hands of a very special
population, can and will provide a future of limitless opportunities for all
people with disabilities.
Within the
past few weeks, I have been thrown words referring to iOS and MacBook devises, such
as Guided Access, Voice over, Switch control, Universal Access, and assistive
touch, to name a few. Through the help of a new friend-who just happens to
specialize in technology in the classroom, YouTube, twitter, Facebook, the
Apple website and many more resources that I will share with you along the way,
I will slowly, but surely discover AND master the ins and outs of Accessibility
Features! Challenge Accepted.
My Go to Accessibility Feature Guru
right now is Luis Perez. Watch this video to understand why he believes this is
the “Best Time in History to be Blind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpeXE9XCU3o.
My favorite quote from the +Luis Perez video is that, "You don't need to see to have a vision." What a powerful message! I'm so glad you've started this journey, Dana!
