And from there I'd like to shift to talking about what you as a developer can do to make sure that your stuff works with our stuff. The first thing I'd like to do is highlight some of our new assistive features across all of our platforms. So, with that in mind, let's take a look at what we're going to talk about today. But at the end of the day what really makes Apple's platforms great is the work that people like you do every day to make sure that all of those amazing bits of content that you work on work for everyone.

Which includes making sure that our software works well with an assortment of hardware accessories made specifically for people with disabilities. So, we've gone about tackling problems that people like Shane face every day by creating a wide array of baked in system-level features across all of our platforms. Once you walk in these doors it doesn't matter where you come from you're accepted.

For homework, the students they record themselves playing. We tend to joke around the classroom, I think that's part of teaching let them see that you're human. Clarinets, you up? Clarinets ready? I love seeing the I got it face when they understand and get something, you can actually see it in their faces and that encourages me to do more. Now, are you going to be able to play today or not, Morgan? All right, guys.

It's about expanding the possibilities of what people can do.Īccessibility is full of incredible stories, stories like Todd's. It's about technology's transformative power to enable. Put another way, one in seven, one in seven people have a form of disability which means that you're going to have and already do have users that have a disability.īut at the end of the day accessibility isn't about numbers it's about people.Īccessibility is about the way in which people interact with the world. Worldwide there are over a billion people who have some form of disability that fit into one of those categories. Vision which encompasses a range of visionability from those with low vision conditions to those who are completely blind.Īnd finally hearing which like vision encompasses a spectrum of hearing ability from those who are hard of hearing to those that are completely deaf. Motor examines the way in which a user physically interacts with the system, whether they need special accommodations for a condition like Parkinson's or cerebral palsy. At Apple, we approach this problem by examining four major classes of user ability, cognitive, motor, vision and hearing.Ĭognitive encompasses conditions like dyslexia or autism. So, for those of you that don't know exactly what I mean when I say accessibility well first of all, I'm happy that you're here and second, when we think about Accessibility it's really making technology usable by everyone regardless of whatever their unique needs might be. My name is Skylar Peterson, I am a member of Apple's iOS Accessibility Team and I'm here today to talk to you about what's new in accessibility this year. I hope everybody's having a great WWDC so far and that some of you managed to go see Todd's talk just a little bit ago, he's a great speaker and an all-around awesome dude, so I hope you enjoyed that.
