How Apple accessibility tools are empowering the disabled in India

New Delhi, Dec 3 : Technology is most powerful when it empowers everyone and Nivedita Vasant, a musician who suffers from cerebral palsy (a group of disorders that affect movement and muscle tone or posture), has won over the medical condition with help from Apple products that are made accessible from the very start.
She is using Apple devices for over a decade now and the accessibility features have really made her life easy.
“Apple’s Accessibility features are really impactful for people like me, who live with cerebral palsy,” Vasant told IANS on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities that was observed on Thursday, with Apple launching a redesigned Accessibility website to help persons with disabilities use its products seamlessly.
“I am a musician and love to play my piano and guitar. I use Music Memos on my iPhone to record small tunes and for music note scores, I use my iPad. I also use Assistive Touch, Siri and Dictation extensively,” Vasant informed.
On her iMac and MacBook Air, she uses multi-touch gestures.
“Over the years, these products have become integrated into my life”.
