Blind Apple engineer is transforming the tech world at only 22
There's a lot to gripe about with Apple, but not when it comes to accessibility.  I am quadriplegic and usually that means putting up with some terrible subset of functions for any given application, tablet, phone or whatever but not with Apple.  They've made it so that anything able-bodied person can do with an iPhone, I can do with their Switch Control interface which I use connected up to the chin controller on my wheelchair.  It's all done via a little Bluetooth bridge called a Tecla shield and it's absolutely marvellous.<p>There really isn't another company in the world, certainly not another phone Manufacturer that has thought of people with motor skill problems in the way that Apple has.  When people think of accessibility they think of the blind and that deaf, people with motor function problems are definitely the red-headed stepchildren of the accessibility software world.<p>Apple, pay your f<i></i><i></i>ng taxes but thank you very very very much for the accessibility software, my life would be much much poorer intellectually without it.
